I really enjoyed this collection. What you get here are wonderous poems on a wide variety of subjects from snooker to bingo to Paul Cezanne to teeth to fainting and yes even to love. Sansom is witty, original, moving and can cover the ordinary and the everyday with brilliance. The only bad thing I can think to say about it is that it is a little on the slim side. I wanted more. A poet I will go out of my way to read.
