'Memorable, musical, witty and just brilliant in every way. Nic is hands down the best new poet to emerge in the last 20 years.' – Sophie Hannah
Perfect for sharing and demanding to be read aloud, this funny, pithy, highly relatable collection of small but perfectly formed poems provides the antidote to the manifold frustrations and absurdities of adult life. A verse companion to modern parenthood, it is the ideal gift for any mother or father whose children know they are wrong about everything.
'Nic Aubury's poetry is proper poetry (yes, I do mean what you think I mean!) in the Betjeman/Wendy Cope tradition, and it's an utter delight – memorable, musical, witty and just brilliant in every way. If you think poetry isn't for you, please, please, give this book a try. Nic is hands down the best new poet to emerge in the last 20 years, and this book is so much fun that it could hold its own, enjoyment-wise, against any typical beach read, blockbuster or airport page-turner. It's also highly relatable if you live in the modern world and occasionally find aspects of it frustrating. Proof that poetry can be pure pleasure!'
