The Personal Touch

A unique collection of poems that are sometimes comical, sometimes satirical, sometimes lyrical, sometimes personal, and sometimes (perish the thought!) political – and sometimes all of these together. A veritable wordfest, tasty and tempting even to those who think they dislike poetry, because all of these poems possess a common theme; whether their subject is the unkillable ‘Coronation Street’ (Britain’s longest running television soap), the plight of prisoners on Death Row, unemployment and the recession, Bristol’s beggars, Anne Frank’s diary, the suffering of lobsters, or Sooty the ravenous cat. No theories are housed in this collection. The personal touch is not just a theme; it was the only qualification for inclusion.
