Poetry Happening Near You

Not many more...

Our penultimate poetry recommendation...

Soon the libraries will be open again, and you will be able to browse (with appropriate care) through the poetry books. After this recommendation, there's be just one more; we hope you have enjoyed them!

This one is my own recommendation, and it's really on the basis of one poem: it's by Dannie Abse, and it's called Not Adlestrop. It's a parody of the very famous poem Adlestrop, and I think it's an absolute delight. Dannie Abse was a qualified doctor as well as being a poet, and many of his poems reflect his medical knowledge and experience, but Not Adlestrop isn't one of these - try it and see what you think.
