I REJECT ALL BIRTHDAY PARTIES

In Christopher Allen's second collection of poetry, he ponders on which nostril is best to exhale out of and the idea of joining the circus. Should we give LSD to zebrafish? There are references to the greats, such as WH Auden, Mr. T and David Letterman's beard. It is worth taking the journey if you have the time and can be bothered.

there's a bloke in this cafe slapping his face
he's been there doing that for
about twenty minutes...


Christopher Allen's first collection of poetry focuses on fatherhood, odd people in cafes and parallel parking. You'll also find references to certain aspects of life such as love, death, Wrestlemania and Alfred the Butler. It is a journey one should at least try.
