About poems that don’t exist

I remain fascinated by literary and other creative works that acquire added superpowers by virtue of not existing and as such I’m delighted to offer a plug to this triumph of passive-aggressive sarcasm:

Release the Sausages! is an anthology of poems, with absolutely no poems in it. It is a celebration of the first twelve months of Starmer’s government – a monument to the towering contribution to socialist thought of Sir Keir Starmer KCB QC, and his decisive, principled and unifying part in the proud history of the British Labour Movement. And it is a moving tribute to his moral integrity and irresistible charisma, warmth and wit... It contains no poems at all, by over 50 poets who have nothing to say about a man who has nothing to say...
