Its that time of year again . . .
With his signature wit, Brian Bilston returns with And So This is Christmas, fifty-one poems in celebration of the festive season: from bizarre family traditions to the office Christmas party; from voting day for turkeys to the impossible art of gift-giving.
So hang your stockings, grab your mistletoe and curl up with this heart-warming collection of Christmas crackers.

About the Author
Brian Bilston
Brian Bilston is a poet clouded in the pipe smoke of mystery. Very little is known about him other than the fragments of information revealed on social media: his penchant for tank tops, his enjoyment of Vimto, his dislike of Jeremy Clarkson. In 2014 he became the first person to retain the title of Pipe Smoker of the Year [Poetry section] and, over the years, he has won numerous awards for cycling proficiency, first aid, and general tidiness. He won the 2015 Great British Write Off poetry prize for a poem disguised in a Venn diagram. Brian's first collection of poetry You Took the Last Bus Home was published by Unbound. His first novel, Diary of a Somebody, was published this year and is laugh out loud funny, clever and a must read.
