Days Like These: An Alternative Guide To The Year In 366 Poems

A curious new collection from the bestselling poet and Costa Prize-shortlisted novelist, Brian Bilston.In this intriguing collection of 366 poems, Bilston attempts to shake off the temporal shackles of the Gregorian calendar by sharing a strange event that happened on each day, across time and place. Some events are well known, others not so much: the January day in 1902 on which New York banned public flirting, or October's 'Apple Day' when people gathered from across the land to celebrate the ubiquitous fruit. They're all followed by a poem written in response. A brilliant, original way to celebrate every day of the year.
