Product Description
Review
Reviews of Caroline Bird's previous collection: 'The tone fuses knowing innocence and integrity; some poems are faux naif with a ballad lilt, others are sad, funny surreal; all are studded with fresh imaginative insights.' - Ruth Padel, Financial Times 'Her poems burst with linguistic energy, and the book is profligate with striking lines and images.' - Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
Following "Looking Through Letterboxes", her first collection (2002), Caroline Bird was acclaimed as a vivid and precocious new talent. "Trouble Came to the Turnip" confirms her originality as she strikes out again in new directions, taking nothing for granted. Her poems are ferociously vital, fantastical, sometimes violent, almost always savagely humorous and self-mocking. Caroline Bird's world is inhabited by failed and (less often) successful relationships, by the dizzying crisis of early adulthood, by leprechauns and spells and Miss Pringle's seven lovely daughters waiting to spring out of a cardboard cake, and the turnip.

Caroline Bird is one of those poets who has a keen imagination and is not afraid to let it run wild which it does with great abandon here in this marvellous collection. At times it can be quite unusual like the collection Rhyme and Reason and it is as if you have entered her own fantasy world at times but all of this is to be commended so if you like poetry with a bit of flair and invention then try this.
