“In these strange times, every day should have a Paul Cookson moment – keep him by your bedside for emergencies.” Simon Mayo MBE, broadcaster & author

When the pandemic started, Paul Cookson began to write a poem a day, little thinking that before it ended he would have written a thousand.

Volume Two continues his compassionate, societal and humorous documentation of the nation’s wellbeing and resolve, crafting an extraordinary collection for these truly extraordinary times.

Illustrated by Martin Chatterton.

“Gives voice to all the things that scare us and all the things that lift us, and everything in between.” Rev. Kate Bottley
