In Love with Mr Jiggs
A collection of poems from award winning poet Graham Clifford. Graham's poetry has been described as...
"Full of alertness, irony and subtle humour, these poems locate the dark edges of 'ordinary life' so precisely as to reveal that no such thing exists." Zoë Skoulding

"...the poems explore or hint toward more positive thoughts about the dignity of poverty, about resilience to loss, about how loss nourishes us by connecting us."
Stephen Payne, Happenstance 18
