    About this ebook

    Edna Robinson's poems are a treasure-trove of memories, spanning more than 50 years. They cover wartime life, romance and motherhood - all set in the Midlands. After moving to work on Tyneside, she wrote poems reflecting various aspects of daily life there, including a famous footballer's legs, how to find a window-cleaner, and much more. The 'joys' of public transport also receive some attention. By turns, amusing, wistful or deeply moving, these poems celebrate life, love, and most important of all - the discovery of contentment. The printed version of this book is now out of print.

      A Year in Reading: Kevin Barry

      Dec 21, 2017

      The book I’ve read the most this year is Antwerp by Roberto Bolaño. I read a few pages from it every morning before I crawl across the floor to my desk. It’s Bolaño distilled. It’s a crime story, a death story, a sex story, a love story, but always i
