In The Small Of My Backyard

• About the book

Legendary poetry slam performer Matt Cook writes with a keen sense of humour and an original outlook that is at once unique and universal. In this debut collection of poems, he surveys the quirkiness of the world around him without judgement. Whether writing about jumble sales, James Joyce or learning to tie his shoes, Cook's poems are immediately accessible, and through humorous observations he subtly offers remarkable insights and social commentary about everyday occurrences.
