Brian Bilston on And So This is Christmas

Last winter 'Twitter's unofficial poet laureate' Brian Bilston delighted us with a discussion of Days Like These. Now we get to enjoy his wry humour again this December for his take on the Christmas season with And So This is Christmas: 51 Seasonally Adjusted Poems. If you loved starting the year with Brian, or were disappointed to miss him, book on for a show-stopping event to end 2023!

It's that time of year again . . .

Brian Bilston returns with And So This is Christmas, 51 poems commenting on bizarre family traditions to the office Christmas party; from voting day for turkeys to the impossible art of gift-giving.

So hang your stockings, grab your mistletoe, and curl up with this heart-warming collection of Christmas crackers.

With over 400,000 followers on social media, Brian has become truly beloved by the online community. He has published three collections of poetry, You Took the Last Bus Home; Alexa, what is there to know about love?; and Days Like These. His novel Diary of a Somebody was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award. He has also published a collection of football poetry, 50 Ways to Score a Goal, and his acclaimed poem Refugees has been made into an illustrated book for children.
