Days Like These: An alternative guide to the year in 366 poems | Brian Bilston
8 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
In this playful, innovative collection, Brian Bilston writes a poem to accompany every day of the year. Each poem is inspired by a significant often curious event associated with that day: from Open an Umbrella Indoors Day to the day on which New York banned public flirting; from the launch of the Rubiks Cube to the first appearance of the phrase, the best thing since sliced bread. Perfect for reading aloud and sharing with friends, Days Like These: An alternative guide to the year in 366 poems will take the blues out of Monday, flatten the Wednesday hump, and amplify that Friday feeling. A brilliant way to enliven every day of the year.

Happy to #BlameItOnLitsy. This is a collection of mostly frothy but occasionally pointed poems, one for each day of the year, based on random facts. (Or sometimes rather important ones.) Puns, homages and allusions abound. It's funny and often silly, but genuine concerns also come through.

#naturalitsy #midwintersolace I got this for Christmas from my friend and I am THRILLED! I have loved BB‘s clever and funny poetry for ages and ages but because he‘s British it‘s been tricky to get my hands on his books in canada ( especially in his early days) now I have a year long daily poem fix ❤️❤️❤️

Tamra This sounds fun! 10mo
ShelleyBooksie Looks cool! 10mo
mcctrish @Tamra I know I can pick it up whenever I want but I am saving it for the first ( and also hiding it from myself so I don‘t wish away 2023 🤣🤣) 10mo
mcctrish @ShelleyBooksie I‘m looking forward to setting up my reading spot once the tree gets put away and having it be there to read every day 10mo
