This collection swings wildly from touching poems that make you want to weep to fun little thoughts that read like off-handed witicisms. Some of these are less successful than others but most feel pretty intentional and still carry some weight.
My favourites are as follows:
Valentine
The Orange
Flowers
After the Lunch
Favourite
Magnetic
Tich Miller
Absent Friends
Little Donkey
Song
Being Boring
A Vow

Like many others I got this book because of the popular poem ‘The Orange’. But there are so many other moving poems in this book. At times I was laughing at the absurdity, and others crying silently. I would definitely recommend this and will probably re-read it soon!
Minor: Death and Grief
These topics are mentioned in a few poems but aren’t graphic or descriptive.
