"With fifty new poems from Britain's favourite poet Pam Ayres, New Poetry Collection is a treat. From wishing your husband was more dashing to becoming a gran for the first time, Pam's poems are observant, witty and poignant in equal measure. From exploding wardrobes, to knowing you must eat more fruit, to the dog being afraid of the toaster the poems are beautifully crafted, and her subjects the everyday and the universal. Delightfully illustrated, most of the poems in New Poetry Collection are absolutely brand new, yet it also features several firm favourites from her stage shows, published for the first time, such as The Make-Up Lady' and Tippy Tappy Feet'."
