Poetry

If your lover has behaved like a rat, your boss has sacked you, your siblings are maligning you, the long arm of the law has misunderstood you... or some rotter has parked in your parking space, then Thirteen Poems of Revenge is definitely, unambiguously, moustache-twirlingly for you. With a witty introduction and specially commissioned new poem by poet and novelist Sophie Hannah, Thirteen Poems of Revenge offers readers a few tips in the art of vengeance as selected poets carefully place the literary equivalent of a banana skin under the feet of the approaching guilty parties... "Revenge is a dish best never served at all, but merely fantasised about." - Introduction to Thirteen Poems of Revenge, Sophie Hannah Poems by Eleanor Brown, Wendy Cope, George Crabbe, Stephen Dobyns, Harry Graham, Roz Goddard, Sophie Hannah, Martin Hayes, Gill Learner, Lorraine Mariner, Dorothy Parker, Jack Powers, Christine Webb, Gregory Woods, Kit Wright and Robin Vaughan-Williams.
