Great one! One of the best english poets of the XX century. Read it now!

Fluent but forgettable.

I love Hugo Williams's poetry, it is so effortless seeming, witty, tender, but has such depths. This collection contains the unbearably moving and funny Leaving Home collection. Essential reading!

[Sylvia Clare · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like many collections of poems some appealed more than others but overall this collection said a lot about school life, relationships with parents and partners, struggles and joys and so much more. we really enjoyed sharing this collection, a few every day with our early morning cup of tea.
