Gazing at the stars from five floors up, smelling the bins from five
floors below. Overheard arguments, overheard laughter. A disappearing
father and a Mermaid-Queen mother; statues that sing for flesh and
blood; bullies who kick you under the table; perfect red trainers - and
the things that lurk in the library.... Award-winning poet Joseph
Coelho's astonishing new collection is a powerful and moving poetic
narrative about growing up in the city.
