It's been a while since I talked about poetry, so I've lost the vocabulary. But I liked these quite a bit:
-The Christening
-My Difference
-The Experience
-The Last Panda
-The Delegates
-The Overtones
Also, the poems seemed to be written in free verse so free it looked like prose. I may have missed something. I would point out, however, that this is not a criticism. 'Poetry has to be, you know, poetry' is not a tautology, but a viciously circular argument.

Now I gotta go familiarize myself with some more poetry a) written in the last 50 years b) by people I didn't study in school.

Quirky, slightly morose tellings of incidents in the style of James Tate, but a British version. These prose poems take you on bite sized journeys. However, I still prefer Tate's oddball sense of humor to Armitage. Bringing it all back home is the standout poem for me and I can see why he sequenced it second to last. Perhaps it is because the ironical distance in that one also comes with some revelation of himself as he imagines a poetic tour of his hometown? ( )

Never more than three pages in length, these stoems or pories will appeal both to readers who enjoy short stories but never got into poetry and those who admire the wordplay and creativity in your average stanza but don't have the attention span for most tall tales. Which is a very longwinded way of saying: they're ace.

Sample opening line: "I hadn't meant to go grave-robbing with Richard Dawkins, but he can be very persuasive."

How could you not want to read on?

I very much enjoyed this short book of poetry. They toy with your imagination... different worlds, different experiences - just where is the next line going to take you?

If you haven't read any poetry in a while (like me) and want something which is accessible and also has some humour, then I recommend this to you. ( )
