Poetry in Commotion Nanda Marchant

In this collection of odes, The Perky Poet takes a wry look at 2020, making sharp and witty comment on topical events as this strange year has unfolded. In her trademark style of dry British humour, sprinkled with a touch of pathos, she steers round the gloom to focus on the lighter side of botched home haircuts, panic buying of loo rolls and lockdown love. Those with a weakness for Pam Ayres, Victoria Wood and a daft ditty should find that this collection of verse gives them just the tonic needed in these turbulent times. Plus, it should warm the heart to know that proceeds will be going to a local children's hospice, making this an even more meaningful birthday gift or Christmas stocking filler
