Uncut Confetti
A loose collection of celebratory pieces
John Hegley
A major new volume from 'comedy's poet laureate' (Independent)
New poems, prose and pictures, a mixture of moods, jolly, melancholy, reflective, detective, tales from home and abroad, an uttering of fluttering delight. The title Uncut Confetti has suggested a few images. One is a confetti which has not been bulked out with inferior, extraneous material such as railway ticket snippings or small bits of toilet tissue. Another is a pair of newly-weds, having whole sheets of confetti paper heaved over them on exit from the church or registry office. And a third is a series of newly printed pages ripe for shredding into the appropriate nuptial shapes - a loose collection of celebratory pieces. 'John Hegley is to potatoes what Wordsworth has been to daffodils' - Observer'Scandalously talented... an inventive, eccentric, comic intelligence' - Sunday Times 'Awesomely mundane' - Independent
