Description

Lanyard by Peter Sansom is a poignant and moving collection of poems that explore life through art and everyday experiences. At its heart are the poet's observations of family life, evoking a world of working-class life in the mid-twentieth century and beyond. Sansom's poetry is marked by warmth, wit, and a keen eye for detail, as he travels through his first car, meeting people from all walks of life, including roofers, walkers, and a pigeon fancier. His elegies celebrate the lives of two notable poets, Gerard Benson and Sarah Maguire, while also capturing the essence of human experience in all its complexity. This collection is a powerful exploration of what it means to be alive, with laughter and tears woven throughout its pages.
