There is often a surreal twist to Harry’s poems, a twist that fits with the way my brain works – the line between the high art of surrealism and a bad pun is paper thin – but the badder the pun the better!
Between the poems there are intros that give you an experience akin to seeing Harry perform the poems when there is always a large slice of chat – this is perhaps the equivalent to a “live album” compared to a “studio album”.
Harry is funny, and there are a lot of jokes in the book and we might make the mistake of not taking it seriously – but the jokes are serious!
Harry talks about his vulnerability with such confidence that this is such a wonderful book. t is a great affirmation that someone that looks in public to have their shit together can worry so much – I take comfort, maybe ‘people’ have not noticed the cracks as I try to keep on the front foot… we need to be kinder to ourselves
