Isle of Sin [Standard Edition]

Isle of Sin embodies stirring and unapologetic poems that circle the queer history of the Isle of Man.
— Celebrating the life of Dursley McLinden (1965-1995), the stage & screen actor whose life was an inspiration for the Channel 4 drama, It’s A Sin.
— Exploring the darker years prior to the partial legalisation of sex between men in 1992.

'What a beautiful thing it is when a really fine writer puts our history into words. We're lucky to have Simon Maddrell amongst us. This tight little volume is fierce, clever, grounded — and shameless.'
Neil Bartlett — Director, Author, Performer

'Passionate, sometimes tender, sometimes angry, Simon Maddrell delivers his message with great skill and integrity.'
Annie Kissack — 5th Manx Bard

'In Isle of Sin, Simon Maddrell captures an era of intolerance with both dark humour and searing candour, without losing his lyricism.'
Peter Tatchell — Human Rights Activist
