Martin Hayes has managed with Ox to create a new allegory that says a lot about our work lives that stays true to the tradition of poets and writers who under totalitarian regimes have had to create allegories to escape detection by control-freak authorities. It requires real ingenuity and perseverance to create a new vehicle for your voice and still be able to stay incisive and funny. - Fred Voss"1984 for 2021: the fabulous Ox's allegorical self-song sings to us of our own diminution, our sad expediency, our compromise and cowardice, of how we've allowed ourselves to become bystanders to our own enslavement. Martin Hayes gives us back the truest measure of England's new identity. We should take note and be grateful."- Martin Malone'We need poets like Hayes now more than ever ... Important reading.' - Andrew McMillan, Poetry Review 'Hayes is unique among British poets ... thoroughly subversive ... funny, shocking, fascinating, humanising.' - Mistress Quickly's Bed 'This is poetry like virtually no-one else in Britain is writing. It is funny, wise, sad, tragic and thoroughly memorable.' - Alan Dent
