Years Spinning By Out Of Control

Years Spinning By Out Of Control combines the poems of the 1998 collection of the same name and the 2000 pamphlet Water Under the Bridge by Exeter poet and novelist Andy Botterill.  The poems explore themes of love, loss, longing, heartache and break-up, sex, substance abuse and social realism.  Many appeared in their original format in the small presses of both the UK and America at the time of writing, and all the poems have been updated with revisions and additions for this new collection, which continues the gradual reissue of all Andy Botterill's published poetry.
 His style has been described as confessional and in the American Beat tradition.  He considers his work to be from the perspective of the outsider, loner or casual observer.
