Alexa, what is there to know about love? by Brian Bilston
'Brian Bilston is a laureate for our fractured times.' Ian McMillan 'Someone who knows their way round both a joke and a bittersweet narrative.' The Times 'Part John Cooper Clarke, part Frank Sidebottom . . . all brilliant.' Esquire 'Bilston is a magician with words' Guardian Alexa, what is there to know about love? is a wonderful collection of poems about love in all its forms, covering everything from romantic love to familial love, to long-distance love, and even love on the internet. The collection also features poems about the true passions for many booklovers, reading and literature, and the odd one about the subject causing many of us heartbreak: politics. With titles like ‘Hold My Hand While We Jump Off This Cliff’ and ‘Remembrance of Things Pasta’, there’s something for even the most jaded romantic within these pages. The perfect, witty gift for Valentine’s and beyond.Someone who knows their way round both a joke and a bittersweet narrative -- The Times

Brian Bilston is clouded in the pipe smoke of mystery.
The author of Diary of a Somebody, he has been described as the Banksy of poetry and Twitter’s unofficial Poet Laureate. With over 50,000 followers, numbering J. K. Rowling, Roger McGough and Frank Cottrell Boyce amongst many, many other luminaries, Brian has become truly beloved by the Twitter community. His first collection, You Took the Last Bus Home, was published by Unbound.
He won the Great British Write Off competition in 2015 – and was the Poet in Residence for the World Economic Forum in 2016. There have been features on him on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the BBC news website, the Irish Times, the Independent and the Smithsonian Magazine. Most of these features seem to have largely centred around his pipe.
