My Granny is a Sumo Wrestler
Illustrated by John Bendall-Brunello
The title poem and the cover picture which illustrates it give, perhaps, too flippant a first impression of the interesting and very varied poems on offer here. Many of them have the slapstick humour and rhythmic vigour of the opener, but there are also mournful poems and frighten-ers, surrealistic nonsense poems and quiet reflections on creation and transience. This is a rich and highly recommended collection.
