With poems culled from a period of 20 years, this compilation brings together the works of English poet Peter Sansom. Having made the local and familiar his own resonant territory, Sansom explores the common ground of modern life, such as supermarkets, darts matches, life with teenagers, and family funerals. Including revised versions of previously published poems, this collection is sure to enthrall poetry lovers as well as fans of Sansom.
Peter Sansom is the director of the Poetry Business and the editor of the North Magazine and Smith/Doorstop Books. He is the author of Everything You’ve Heard is True and January and the recipient of the Arts Council Literature Award. He has contributed poems to a number of publications, including the Guardian and the Observer.
