You know how it is when the summer comes, and you have an album which you play over and over, which seems to sum up a very particular time and place? In which each song seems to sing of life and the very joy of living it? Yay! Is a collection of upbeat poems for uncertain times, poems of imagination and escape, whimsy and warmth, humanity and honesty. From a man trapped in a toilet in a motorbike museum with a cistern which refuses to flush, to a small town in West Virginia in which absolutely everything has a suddenly erotic undertone, via Scratch' n' Sniff hieroglyphs and the world' s most mediocre circus, these poems are a veritable celebration of life from the Professor of Whimsy.
' What I love most about Robert Garnham is that he seems naive and childish enough to believe that poetry can be for the actual pleasure of the reader. He is excellent company. In short he' s an excellent poet with an inimtable voice and a nice smile. There' s warmth in his whimsy, it' s sturdy not flimsy. Where others might proffer inanity he offers humanity. ' Matt Harvey
Robert Garnham was born in Surrey some time back. He works as a writer, humorist, and comedy performance poet. He has taken numerous shows to fringes and festivals throughout the UK, and was acclaimed as having one of the funniest jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe. He has performed everywhere from a florist in Devon, to a warehouse in Hackney, to the Duplex Cabaret in New York. He made a couple of short TV advertisements for a certain bank, and was once an answer on the TV show Pointless. He loves travelling but hates camping. He likes pea soup, but not peas. Yay! Is his third Burning Eye collection.
