Mind the Gap

Lots of anecdotes as poems with the usual bright and very funny voice of the poet clowning for attention. But there are other voices here too, sometimes harsh and even bitter, as Rosen edges his humour into areas of race and political injustice. Teenagers will love it - some of it immediately. Worth buying as many as you can afford, It's a fine collection, both in the poems themselves and the orchestration of the easy and uneasy laughter.
