A Straight Up Giant, Paperback / softback Book

A Straight Up Giant Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

Serious, comic, brave, cowardly, engaged, disengaged, urgent, unurgent, chattering chiffchaff, talking horses, unpretentious, pretentious, all of God's creatures are here.

There's also an almost - but not quite - dialogue between the poems and the laconic (and sometimes furious) musings of the passages which punctuate them.

There are a series of fairytale poems, and others which give unfettered voice to Marcie, a character who has appeared in Mark Waldron's previous books.

Behind the humour and playfulness, there is always something deeply unmeant, meant.
