It’s called Fishing Dentures Out of Mashed Potato (Upside Down Books) and Matt says “It’s taken more than five years to develop, and it’s a more personal collection than I’ve written for a long time. I think it’s my best collection yet.”
Price £5 and proceeds go to Myton Hospices. Send books direct to friends and family as personalised gifts for Xmas.
“In this glorious collection, Matt Black explores and reflects upon ageing, parental dementia, masculinity and mortality, the importance of friendship, the small but vital joys of domesticity – all handled with a lightness of touch, an openness and wit many poets would give their eye teeth for. Fishing Dentures out of Mashed Potato is a collection of love and laughter and everyone should read it. Includes new knees, and dogs.” Steve Pottinger
