Billy Childish


Billy leads protest against Penguin

After receiving a 'cease and desist' order from Penguin Publishers over the illegal use of the Penguin Classics cover on his new book of poetry 'The Un-corrected Billy Childish', the cult musician and artist decided to hold a book burning session outside the company's offices in London last night.

An impromptu reading of some scathing works on the subject of poetry, was followed by an invitation to a gathered crowd to offer up their own books for the bonfire along with several copies of Billy's new release.
