Lanyard

By Peter Sansom

A compelling collection exploring life through art, family, and memory.

In Lanyard, Peter Sansom pauses time to examine life through the lens of art, from 1980s pop to classic literature. This collection warmly and wittily explores family life, evoking working-class experiences from the mid-twentieth century to the present day.

Sansom's poems journey through vinyl records and tie-dye, celebrating figures like Gerard Benson and Sarah Maguire. With laughter and tears, Lanyard vividly portrays a world that survives through poetry. Perfect for readers seeking connections between art and life, and those who appreciate introspective verse.
