Description
A hilarious and moving poetry collection. The perfect, witty gift for Valentine’s and beyond.
‘Bilston is a magician with words’ – Guardian
Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? is a wonderful collection of poems by Brian Bilston, Twitter’s ‘unofficial poet laureate’, in which he frets over the challenges of modern life, celebrates the pleasures of books, broods over politics, and ponders the curiosities of language.
But at its heart, this is a collection of poems about love. From our caveman days to the internet era, from first dates to love in old age, Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? has a love poem for every time, place and occasion – and will stir the soul of even the most jaded romantic.
‘If you like a) laughing or b) words which rhyme with each other, you will love Brian Bilston’ – Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club
‘Brian Bilston is a laureate for our fractured times.’ – Ian McMillan
‘Part John Cooper Clarke, part Frank Sidebottom . . . all brilliant.’ – Esquire
