Through the open skylight, come planes of contemporary light, the cracks cape, city scape of modern Britain smoking away...Nathan's verse is lost and found somewhere between tradition and the new. From the corruption of the soul to redemption in the flesh, his words flitter between total hopeless abandon of the self in the prison of our time and meditation on the simple natural things which promise salvation. And the journey from urban decay to rural inspiration seems a good plan, but he offers no escape, just the gentle lull of the in between.
Shane Levine (Poet and Author)
Nathan A. Thompson uses the sights, sounds and smells of his London to create beautiful poetry with the same apparent ease that the city's other great troubadours - like Shane MacGowan or Joe Strummer - mined her back alleys, pubs and housing estates for timeless music and lyrics. I TAKE NOTHING STRONG, ONLY LIGHTNING is a truly beautiful collection.
