The Boar reviews ‘Confronting the Danger of Art’

Award-winning university newspaper The Boar has reviewed Ian McLachlan and Phil Cooper’s ‘Confronting the Danger of Art’ thus:

“Imagine a world in which artistic expression is suppressed and condemned by the government. Not too difficult, is it, considering the cuts we have suffered in recent years. Both wonderfully relevant therefore and also intriguing in its portrayal of the thing is Ian McLachlan’s ‘Confronting The Danger Of Art’, a short poetry pamphlet that talks about how to survive an influx of creative types and their work in the style of a 70s nuclear safety information booklet. It is a marriage of ideas that does not sound quite as effective as it actually is; the poetry within providing a hilarious and searing look at the way people do sometimes treat the arts, and how it is a slippery slope potentially towards more totalitarian views … perfectly crafted and delightfully witty.”

Buy ‘Confronting the Danger of Art’ here, and make an old alchemist marginally wealthier.
