Static Exile cover

George Ttoouli is an Honorary Teaching Fellow for the Warwick Writing Programme. He co-founded the Heaventree Press in 2002 and has worked in the education team at the Poetry Society. He's now mostly skint, in Coventry. He co-edits poetry blogzine Gists & Piths. In 2004 he received a Jerwood-Arvon Young Writing Apprenticeship to work on a novel, which he still hasn't abandoned. Static Exile is his debut collection of poetry.

I don't expect poetry to make me laugh my ass off, but this totally got me. - China Mieville Static Exile fizzes with energy, and it's fun. I mean, laugh out loud, read-it-again-and-again fun. This is satire, and often genuinely caustic satire, too - if, as I suspect, it's about to make a comeback in UK poetry, then I'll be applauding all the way, and cheering Ttoouli's place in the vanguard. - Polyolbion Static Exile is wild and varied: ambitious, expansive, keen to try new things. - Warwick Review 'Ghosts' is my favourite poem ever. - Luke Kennard
