Bit Parts for Fools

In this resonant collection of unbridled fancy, Peter Richardson's characters hunger for soulful connections in the midst of bedlam and loss. Ranging from a literate vernacular to high diction and low humour, these poems confirm that Richardson is a craftsman of the finest kind, all confidence and mischief, "whistling from scuffmark to scuffmark" as he traipses across the page and into the psyche.
