Careful What You Wish for

By Peter Sansom

A tender exploration of memory, loss, and the beauty of everyday life.

Careful What You Wish For, Peter Sansom's latest collection, is a clear-eyed and tender exploration of modern life. Winter mornings are lit by the tame volcano of a lava lamp, and Camus, St-Exup ry, and Ken Dodd are all present. This collection is full of bewilderment by what life is and does.

Sansom reflects on family, love, and even tennis, with poems set in Yorkshire, at the Reading Festival, and on canal boats. Readers who appreciate reflective and nostalgic poetry will find much to savor in this collection. Will Sansom's poems resonate with your own experiences of memory and loss?
