A powerful poetry collection full of the drama, musicality and lyricism
that Jackie Kay is famed for.
Exploring the themes of identity and age, this collection includes
poems about the old days and the new days, and the places associated
with an older generation, who often live dreamlike, isolated existences
- not only geographically, but also in the memory.
Nature and the elements play a big role too: trees, the moon, the sea,
fire. Jackie Kay's style is one moment witty, the next melancholic, or
gently surreal - and in this brilliant reissued collection, her poems
are infused with warmth and colour: in particular, the colour RED.
Perfect for fans of The Gift by Carol Ann Duffy and Rob Ryan, this
gorgeous new gift edition is a must-have for any poetry fan.
In a gorgeous pocket-sized hardback, Another Night Before Christmas
is Carol Ann Duffy's magical contemporary reworking of the famous
poem by Clement C. Moore. Beautifully presented, this wonderful
festive poem, illustrated with Rob Ryan's paper cut artwork, is the
perfect Christmas gift. On the night before Christmas, A child in a
house, As the whole family slept, Behaved just like a mouse . . .
It's the night before Christmas and a young girl creeps down the
stairs, determined to find out for certain whether Santa is real .
. . But try as she might, she can't keep awake and is soon fast
asleep. She doesn't stir, even when Santa and his reindeer land on
her roof-top - but then, when he bursts out of her fireplace, she
wakes to a room filled with magic. As she watches him fly off into
the night, she knows that she will never forget this sight because,
at Christmas, the best gift of all is belief.
Rob Ryan is a star of the London arts and crafts scene whose work
has succeeded thus far both as fine artwork and as commercial art,
design and decoration. His work is irresistibly bright and
colourful, and will find universal appeal as a gift book. He will
also find an audience in art and design categories, where his
artwork is appreciated alongside illustrators like Jean-Philippe
Delhomme or Jean Julien, and his commercial work is aligned with
such colourful names as Paul Smith, Lulu Guinness, and Liberty of
London.
