Artist Peter S Smith publishes his poems for the first time in this charming pocket sized chapbook. Smith draws his inspiration from Clive James’ recent quote in The Guardian (14:11:2015) “Lately I am seldom impressed by the kind of poetry that is just prose arranged vertically. I spent too much time learning how to arrange it horizontally.”
