All Things Weird and Wonderful

by Stewart Henderson

Overview

Another collection of quirky, thought-provoking and highly entertaining poems from a performance poet with an increasing fan base.

In this collection Stewart Henderson takes a sideways look at creation - from the depths of the sea, to the breadth of the earth, and the realms of space and sky - and featuring many aspects of the animal world. The poems are often shown from the perspective of a child (answering curious questions, or helping children to understand more about their place in the universe). 

Poems include short humorous verses, longer narrative poems and the poet's inimitable 'wry thoughts'.
