In this playful, innovative collection, Brian Bilston writes a poem to accompany every day of the year inspired by events associated with that day: from ‘Open an Umbrella Indoors Day’ to the day on which New York banned public flirting; from the launch of the Rubik's Cube to the first appearance of the phrase, 'the best thing since sliced bread'. Perfect for reading aloud and sharing with friends, _DAYS LIKE THESE: AN ALTERNATIVE GUIDE TO THE YEAR IN 366 POEMS_ will take the blues out of Monday, flatten the Wednesday hump, and amplify that Friday feeling. A brilliant way to enliven every day of the year.
