Fluent but forgettable.

I love Hugo Williams's poetry, it is so effortless seeming, witty, tender, but has such depths. This collection contains the unbearably moving and funny Leaving Home collection. Essential reading!

Like many collections of poems some appealed more than others but overall this collection said a lot about school life, relationships with parents and partners, struggles and joys and so much more. we really enjoyed sharing this collection, a few every day with our early morning cup of tea.
