Book Launch / Things Can Only Get Worse by Allan Cameron

Whilst indignation saturates Allan Cameron’s third collection, Things Can Only Get Worse, this collection also praises the humanity of the great majority of people everywhere. Although Cameron is a writer who goes in search of paradox, there is no contradiction here. Valuing humanity in these cynical times goes hand in hand with outrage at the behaviour of the powerful and the politicians who serve them. We live in a period of insane and unforgivable violence inflicted by the West on defenceless civilians with all the force of modern military technology.
