Product Description
Book Description
The first collection of poetry from this Hitchin-based writer. He lists his key influences as Philip Larkin, James Joyce, Douglas Adams, Terry Gilliam and John Peel.
From the Author
It could be any town in England with nothing special about it, or with a sense of faded glamour, but when I heard on the radio last year that there had been a tornado in Cleethorpes, it struck me as being a good metaphor for the unexpected or amazing happening in the most mundane of places - devastating the landscape in its wake. A lot of my poems echo this theme, from using source material such as a microwave oven or doing the washing up, to the sudden death of my father a few years ago. It's also the idea that history - personal or otherwise - is made up of a series of these events, and some of the poems try to address these wider issues.
