Dead chuffed to have taken delivery today of advance copies of ‘How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside’, which comes out next month.
As ever, Picador have done a fabulous job in bringing my work to the printed page.

A photo of my new book ‘How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside’. It’s a beautiful hardback edition in gold / yellow colours featuring an illustration on the front of a man looking up at a wooden horse which has a body shaped like an egg.

Incredibly, it’s my tenth book. I don’t quite know how that has happened.

Thanks to everyone for having indulged me for so long.

Alexa, what is there to know about love?
Diary of a Somebody

A picture of my new book jacket, featuring a mildly perplexed man looking up at a giant horse with an egg shaped body.

Given it’s World Book Day, I suppose I should mention that I’ve got a new book coming out next month.

It’s called ‘How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside’: a collection of new poems, which also doubles up as a guide to enjoying and writing poetry.

It is not altogether serious.

It’s pre-orderable through your local friendly bookshop, plus those online ones.

Signed copies are available through the UK indie bookshops and here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/295/9781035085729
