Product Description:
This book of poems by an Irish poet forms a beautiful vision of Christmas Day.
Review:
"[A]n intimate soul-searching, by turns painful and savagely funny" (Dominic Cavendish Independent)
"He is a master of minor tragedies and melancholy, self-mocking humour... It is a beautiful, poignant and wry piece of writing. The firm yet hesitant friendship between these two men is the most genuine note of goodwill you could come across in a whole month of Christmases" (Maggie O'Farrel Independent)
"Melancholy yet achingly funny" (Observer)
"Like all first-class comedians, he is deadly serious" (Terry Eagleton Stand)
