In This Poem


My first book to be published in Britain under a non-Tory government is a poetry collection that I happen to regard as my best poetry book so far.

The ebook is free from Amazon for the next four days. None of the poems in this new collection have been previously published.

The official blurb for the book runs as follows:

75 poems, none previously published. Concerned with such topics as mythical beasts, robots, ghosts, gods, dilemmas, metaphysics, trousers, bridges, haircuts, paradoxes, windows, journeys, brackets, pretzels, dinosaurs, thunder, duels, bears, kangaroos and dozens of other objects, ordeals and ideas. Always entertaining and offbeat. Regarded by the author as his best poetry collection to date.

"I would call him an indubitable modern sentence master." — SAMUEL DELANY
"Like Kafka with a brighter sense of humour.” — A.A. ATTANASIO
"Wit and whimsy and word-relish, high spirits and bittersweet twists." — IAN WATSON 

Yes, I am especially delighted with this one.... :-)
