In Doctor No's Garden (Cape Poetry) - Softcover

Ranging across the globe, from Mexico to Japan, from the States to Southern England, these poems can be lyrical and deeply affecting, wryly funny or wildly imaginative. From a lonely mother attempting to learn the piano to a ski-jump that never ends, from a redemptive encounter with horses on a cold day to a miraculous bowl of chicken soup, these poems display a vibrancy and variety rarely seen in contemporary poetry. But Henry Shukman's great strength is in the domestic—the complexities of love, and the rites of passage of childhood and parenthood.
