"UK born writer, photographer and filmmaker, Craig Podmore, brings us another 131 pounds of flesh in his new and gravel-rash-raw collection of poetry The Hell in Me, the Hell in You. A textual viewpoint of a nightmarish pop-culture of the future; a snuff television addled society and dirty cum-faced blow jobs, Craig invites De Sade to the table and serves him with blood and champagne. Its bleak, unrelenting and it will most likely piss a lot of people off, like all good literature with intent and purpose, it proposes a dark viewpoint of reality that is hard to argue against or ignore.The poems are short, punchy and without dull prose or unnecessary lines. Some things are just a soft tap, a quick squizz over and it's done, put the book down and walk away. Craig's work in this collection is as much a punch in the face to read,as it would have been to write and to live. Solid and meaty, this book burns spot fires exactly where they should be lit; in your guts." - Ben John Smith
