W. N. Herbert
The Big Bumper Book of Troy
 
This book is Herbert's quest for traces of the lost city. Sometimes reflective, sometimes subversively mischievous, he registers or rails against displacement and resettlement, lamenting the passing of relatives, cities, furniture, and the odd lemur.

book jacket
W. N. Herbert
Cabaret McGonagall
 
Bill Herbert is a highly versatile poet who writes both in English and Scots. 'In comparison with Cabaret McGonagall, much contemporary poetry seems dim, deaf, invertebrate and, above all, unnecessary' - Sean O'brien.

book jacket
W. N. Herbert
The Laurelude
 
Poetry Book Society Recommendation. The title-poem of Herbert's latest book is a Lakeland epic like Wordsworth's 'Prelude' but with local boy Stan Laurel as its focus. It bursts all borders, literary and political, creating a zone where the Hollywood musical meets the Jolly Beggars, where lament bumps into love lyric, where the dictionaries go to die.
