These poems document the period of July to mid-October 2020 - from the pubs re-opening through to the introduction of the 'Three-Tier System'. Compassionate, humorous, political and principled, here is another extraordinary collection for extraordinary times and a continuing discourse on the mood of a nation. \"Paul Cookson is on the ball with poetry and life in the here and now. These trying times need poets to help us find a compass. This book is a must.\" - Michael Rosen \"Paul's poetry gives voice to all the things that scare us and all the things that lift us, and everything in between. When we look back at 2020\/21 and think what was all that about? his work will help us to remember and to see how far we've come.\" - Rev. Kate Bottley \"A sublime collection of instinctive and honest poems that will undoubtedly serve as a poignant and definitive record of a challenging, turbulent year.\" - Badly Drawn Boy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307740148085,"sku":"9781838118518","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781838118518.jpg?v=1762805105","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781838118518","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
