Can of Worms

Written daily throughout the UK's COVID-19 regulatory restrictions, Paul Cookson's new collection picks up directly from his first volume, 'Fighting Talk'. These poems document the period of July to mid-October 2020 - from the pubs re-opening through to the introduction of the 'three-tier system'. Compassionate, humorous, political and principled, here is another extraordinary collection for extraordinary times and a continuing discourse on the mood of a nation.
