WHEN THE UNIVERSE CREAKS

Poems by Simon Lamb

​

I imagine it will happen outside,

simply so the sky can soundtrack the scene,

that calm note the air makes when the universe creaks.

​

From the vastness of the firmament to the titchy curl of a seahorse’s tail, in this beautiful bind-up of five themed poetry sequences, Simon Lamb twirls readers through glittering worlds with warm and wonder-filled verse.​
