Your basket
A Birmingham Yank
by John Goodby
This is Goodby's first full collection of poetry. Rich in literary allusion, laconic wit and political side-swipes in every direction, these poems move through an eclectic range of voices, encounters and cultures and together constitute a book full of music, rhetoric and humour — intriguing, hard-hitting, always entertaining.
Goodby's work is a place to which the reader can return often and with growing satisfaction. Never mind the thin wind-chimes of the urban lyric: this is the full orchestra, even if sometimes it seems to be playing in a phone box.
