One of the internet’s most prominent poets, John Lavan, presents a new book of collected poems. John’s distinctive voice, enjoyed by his hundreds of thousands of blog and Twitter followers, carries effortlessly from the personal to the pastoral. Many poems are inspired by family relationships, especially the bond he has with his first son Andrew, who has Down’s syndrome. There are also poems on love, our time, a series of haiku, and even poems on poetry among this collection of more than 100 hilarious, thoughtful and heart-breaking works.

      Bright Star Love’s not bright and constant but only cheese on toast; a little glance, returning nod, a cup of tea, a smile, a nudge and sometimes, like a closing door, it needs a push before it turns and groans and opens to the garden. Another thing: the gaps between the cheese, the tea, the toast and sunny laughter - also matter - because it’s there, right there, that we remember to remember. And do, indeed, remember.
