Published to coincide with the release of a John Hegley CD, and yet another sell-out tour of the British Isles, "Uncut Confetti" is a stunning volume of new work - from the funny to the sad, the personal to the philosophical - by one of our best-loved and best-selling writers. The book has a very strong autobiographical strand, and in particular some poignant reflections on John's father who would have been 100 this year. There is also a running thread of animal-related poems, and the usual abundance of splendid drawings accompanied, unusually, by a photograph or two. Production values for this remarkable book will be exceptional. The cover will be printed directly onto board, and in a visual echo of its title the text will be printed on a range of coloured papers. Perhaps John Hegley's most intimate and powerful work to date, "Uncut Confetti" is a book full of promise for everyone.

I'm not usually a reader of poetry but i was given this book and was unable to put it down until i'd read all of the poems, most at least twice. very witty, touching, and overwhelmingly delightful. loved it.
Having seen John Hegley live at Glastonbury where he was excellent I really enjoyed reading more of his poems. The pictures make his book very entertaining. An all round brilliant book and good value too!
I love John Hegley's poetry - his poems are usually a combination of humour and yet at the same time touchingly poingnet. This is not his best collection though - he almost seems to have grown up a bit too much!
