Things My Children Think I’m Wrong About

‘Nic Aubury’s poetry is proper poetry (yes, I do mean what you think I mean!) in the Betjeman/Wendy Cope tradition, and it’s an utter delight – memorable, musical, witty and just brilliant in every way. If you think poetry isn’t for you, please, please, give this book a try. Nic is hands down the best new poet to emerge in the last 20 years, and this book is so much fun that it could hold its own, enjoyment-wise, against any typical beach read, blockbuster or airport page-turner. It’s also highly relatable if you live in the modern world and occasionally find aspects of it frustrating. Proof that poetry can be pure pleasure!’
