Description
Simon Armitage's new collection is a vibrant and diverse assembly of dramatic monologues, allegories, parables, and tall tales. Each poem brings to life a unique voice, from the melancholy to the irreverent.
The poems in this collection are full of energy and language that cuts across traditional poetic boundaries. They explore themes of identity, morality, and the human condition, often with a sense of mischief and playfulness.
Through his characteristic blend of wit, intelligence, and emotional depth, Armitage creates worlds that are both peculiar and particular, inviting readers to engage with their complexities and contradictions.
