Brian Bilston

This is a quirky read, to be enjoyed for the oddball poems which are at its heart. Nobody could take the fictional Bilston seriously. He's hopeless at his job, socially inept, useless at time and money management. But he writes quirky verses, using anything from great literature the day's puzzle corner in the paper as his catalyst. A book to read when the New Normal of Covid 19 is getting you down.

Love the style of humor and play with language. Probably a quarter of the poems require a level of familiarity with British culture that I don't quite have and so they went pretty much over my head.

Simply lovely, clever poems that always bring a smile or sigh of recognition.

Ingeniously hilarious poems, 10/10 would recommend
