The Boy from the Chemist is Here to See You by Paul Farley
Poetry Review New Poet of the Year 1997Look - here's a poet of ferocious invention, a breathtaking wit that ushers us to epiphanies of grief and laughter, an encyclopaedic knowledge of hip ephemera that's never merely knowing, and a playful ear - which is, I note, an anagram of Paul Farley . . . What more do you want?' Michael Donaghy
