Trying times need poetsThis book is a must. Michael Rosen ; A book that future historians will want to read; it will tell them what it was like to live in turbulent times through a poet's eye. Ian McMillan ; A modern take on Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. Brilliant. Paul Ross ; Manages to season cogent observations with a dash of humour that makes you want to dip in again and again. Valerie Bloom MBE ; A poet for all seasons and all occasions. Henry Normal ; Pithy blinders, heartfelt and moving, marvellously inventive and original. Stewart Henderson
