Bill Lewis is an English artist, storyteller, poet and mythographer. He was a founder member of The Medway Poets and, later, also a member of the Stuckists art group. Part of the original punk poets of the nineteen seventies, Bill has developed a language beyond that primeval explosion, writing poetry that deals with the modern world from the point of view of a working-class poet who mixes mythologies old and new to interpret modern Britain and the world beyond. This is the first time that his work has been published in Spanish in book form. The books comes with a prologue placing Bill´s work in the context of modern Western poetry. It is totally bilingual and can be read in both Spanish and English.
