Books by Paul Lyalls

In 'Catching the Cascade', his long awaited debut collection, Paul Lyalls presents verse that documents his long career as a performing poet, exploring the motifs of childhood, love, consumerism, second hand cars and his native North. His punchy, breathlessly entertaining poetry stems not just from a razor sharp wit but from his genuine love of language. "A gifted poet... his work is witty, well constructed and well delivered." --The Stage "A talented poet, Lyalls' works, such as 'The Cult of Relationships' and 'Anatomy of a Bookshop' provide a clever take on modern attitudes and popular culture." --Three Weeks magazine "The quality that shines through this slim volume is a playful sense of fun... Lyalls has an unerring and endearing sense of fun." --Patrick Neate, London Magazine
