The Thin Book of Poems is the debut publication from Lach, founder of the historical music and art phenomenon - Antifolk. Often called the inheritor of the Beat movement, Antifolk inspired the creation of nightclubs, magazines, and record labels around the world, and is cited by thousands of artists as a main source of inspiration.

Lach has released six critically acclaimed albums, wrote and starred in BBC Radio 4’s hit series The Lach Chronicles, and his debut novel, Langdimania, was named Debut Novel of the Month by LoveReading4Kids.

And now, the third edition of The Thin Book of Poems sports a white cover, a new look, and serves as a bridge toward the release of Lach’s upcoming memoir, The Day I Went Insane (Fortified Publishing, summer/fall 2026).

Oh, and its bespoke trim will fit neatly in your back jeans pocket!

“In places the autobiographical accents of Betjeman meet the curl of T.S. Eliot, but the driving force is pure Lach - outstandingly beautiful.” – stirlingwriter.com
