You know how it is when the summer comes, and you have an album which you play over and over, which seems to sum up a very particular time and place? In which each song seems to sing of life and the very joy of living it? Yay! Is a collection of upbeat poems for uncertain times, poems of imagination and escape, whimsy and warmth, humanity and honesty. From a man trapped in a toilet in a motorbike museum with a cistern which refuses to flush, to a small town in West Virginia in which absolutely everything has a suddenly erotic undertone, via Scratch'n'Sniff hieroglyphs and the world's most mediocre circus, these poems are a veritable celebration of life from the Professor of Whimsy.

Robert arrives in Tokyo to find that the hotel have lost his booking information. This leads to an existentialist crisis as he is followed around by private ghosts and recent memories.

In the Glare of the Neon Yak is a riproaring piece of spoken word storytelling set on a sleeper service in the middle of winter. A train full of circus performers are being stalked by a mysterious entity which seems to mean more than just its eerie manifestation. A portent, an omen, the Neon Yak symbolises dark times. Will our hero find love? Will Jacques, the tight rope walker, get back together again with his ex, the circus clown? Does the secret of the Neon Yak lie in the hands of a randy old lady? Has the buffet car run out of sausage rolls? Will Tony the Train Manager find where they've put Carriage F? An hour show combining poetry, storytelling and music, In the Glare of the Neon Yak is the sparkling new show from spoken word artist, Robert Garnham. Robert Garnham is an LGBT spoken word artist based in Devon, though he works all over the UK and in New York, and has recently been featured on a Tv advert campaign for the Nationwide Building Society.

These are suburban poems describing places we go to all the time. But they creep beneath the surface of reality and find a deeper truth, some colour beyond the monochrome. From supermarkets to trains and buses, libraries to pubs, and then further afield from the Amazon to the Arctic, this collection finds that one magic spark which unites us all. By turns laugh out loud funny and life affirming, celebratory and campaigning, this book shows that we all have more in common than we think. Cranked out of an old Olivetti typewriter, Zebra is a work of depth from the Professor of Whimsy, comedy spoken word artist Robert Garnham.
