Description

Book Synopsis
A collection of poems that focus on the lives of ordinary people - children, vicars, orphans, nurses, grannies, social workers at a dance, and old people in residential homes.

Trade Review
'There is a potentially popular poetry in England which does not talk down to people or appeal to their self-consciousness, and it is being written by people like Ruth Silcock. Larkin, Betjeman and Stevie Smith would have approved of her poems.'George Szirtes
