The Latest Noel

The Latest Noel is a collection of poems on subjects as diverse as British Summer Time, car boot sales, the 20th century thinker Georges Bataille, the connection between bird watching and waterfalls and Marxism, Valentine's Day, English folklore, Magpies, extraterrestrials visiting the Earth, and Christmas. If you're a fan of the 'I feel pain more deeply and sensitively than anyone who's ever lived' type of verse, it probably won't be your cup of tea.

But if you're not ... well, who knows?
