Product Description

Review

You couldn't mistake Simon Armitage for any other poet. He has found his voice early, and it really is his own voice - his language and rhythms drawn from the Pennine village where he lives: robust, no-nonsense and (above all) honest. --Peter Sansom

Astonishingly good for such a young writer... poems with an energy which comes directly from life now and the living language. --Carol Ann Duffy, Guardian

Armitage creates a muscular but elegant language of his own out of slangy, youthful, up-to-the-minute jargon and the vernacular of his native northern England. He combines this with an easily worn erudition, plenty of nous and the benefit of unblinkered experience...to produce poems of moving originality. --Peter Reading, Sunday Times

4.0 out of 5 stars Still one of his best., 20 May 2001
By A Customer
Armitage's first collection, and still one of his best. Everything is bursting into life here - the poems are coming out of all shapes and sizes of experience, from the bizzare to the mundane. Zestfull, inventive and wry. Nothing like it.
