About this ebook
Plug directly into an unfiltered, post-punk transmission for the end of days.
12 Volts of Eccentricity is an abrasive, high-voltage poetry collection that strips back the glossy paint of modern consumerism to expose the machinery of societal and environmental decay. Moving seamlessly from the crushing weight of institutional corruption to the toxic systems poisoning our food chains, Darren Hobson channels a raw, sermon-like urgency against the comfortable illusions of the modern world.
This is a fierce, confrontational manifesto written for a society on the edge of a community meltdown. Hobson anchors abstract global anxieties in familiar cultural touchstones—weaving references to Pantera, Disney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Terminator throughout his loose free verse. Yet, amidst the sharp political satire and critiques of flawed education, the collection delivers shocking moments of whimsical relief, from dancing cats scratching back to a blunt, quiet vulnerability that acknowledges personal grief and aging.
Delivering unpolished, stream-of-consciousness free verse that shatters the fourth wall to command the reader, Hobson uses dark humour as protective armour. This is a visceral, chest-honest debut for an independent voice that refuses to compromise.
