John Tucker has four collections published with Chipmunka which have now, after some fine adjustments since their original publication, been gathered together as one book. The Chipmunka collections are meant to be the building blocks of a happier world: Soundcloud Rain falsifies the Nirvana barcode in music; The Sunset Child proves the net existed in the imagination of a child before Berners-Lee invented it; Breath Trapped In Heaven lets all else apart from love poetry fall away in the hope that literature has started to release serotonin; and finally Brave New Tense discretely 'does the beck' at the foot of the oldest fell with fairness and universality in mind. Now all these four collections are gathered together in one place. John Tucker was born in London in 1982. He graduated from Lancaster University in 2009 and is now based in Cumbria at the foot of the oldest fell, Black Combe.
