Format:Paperback
This book is absolutely fantastic. The text message is the modern casual poem, and Wilson's lyrical words are as understated as they are elegant and profound. They remind me of Roger McGough, Philip Larkin, and even the band Death Cab for Cutie. Wonderful short observations on everyday life. A lovely book I'll re-read and will take everywhere. More please Mr Wilson!
