Psycho Seagull Stole My Dog cover


Poems inspired by newspaper headlines, tag-lines, cliches, and click-bait. Marvel at the absurdities ...
Beware the 'Lager Lout Gulls', cower from 'The Ghost of Lemmy Riding a Horse and Eating Pizza', be perplexed as 'Brian Blessed Wrestles Forty Stone Gorilla', and hide your eyes from 'Mr Holder's Marrow'!
All of these - and much more! - from Britain's best selling poet (named Paul Cookson), and illustrated throughout in full colour by Martin Chatterton.

"A fresh collection of Cookson's verse. If it's laughter you're after you could do worse." Dr John Cooper Clarke
"Funny, irreverent, and brilliantly brought to life." Brian Bilston
"Finely finished formidable fun." John Hegley
"Marvellously inventive and original." Stewart Henderson
"A poet for all seasons and all occasions." Henry Normal
"Every day should have a Paul Cookson moment." Simon Mayo MBE
