You Took the Last Bus Home is the first and long-awaited collection of ingeniously hilarious and surprisingly touching poems from Brian Bilston, the mysterious ‘Poet Laureate of Twitter’.
With endless wit, imaginative wordplay and underlying heartache, he offers profound insights into modern life, exploring themes as diverse as love, death, the inestimable value of a mobile phone charger, the unbearable torment of forgetting to put the rubbish out, and the improbable nuances of the English language.
Constantly experimenting with literary form, Bilston’s words have been known to float off the page, take the shape of the subjects they explore, and reflect our contemporary world in the form of Excel spreadsheets, Venn diagrams and Scrabble tiles.
This irresistibly charming collection of his best-loved poems will make you laugh out loud while making you question the very essence of the human condition in the twenty-first century.

Quotes

  • Tatien Kolosuninahas quoted3 years ago
    The first time I remember seeing you
    was when you fell off the scaffolding
    and into the wet cement below.
    You left quite an impression.
    Later we met at Literary Sculpture class,
    where we would fashion the great writers
    out of wicker. Me: Joyce. You: Twain.
    You really made your mark.
    We only ever kissed once
    but I recall that fateful bluster of a day
    as if it were yesterday.
    I was blown away.
