The Unaccompanied | Simon Armitage

A Chair. From Simon Armitage‘s latest collection, The Unaccompanied. He is one of three writers responsible for my being a writer; his style is so deceptively simple that on reading his collection Seeing Stars I thought, ‘I can do that‘ 🙄
HIGHLY recommend his recent collected works ‘Paper Aeroplanes‘

TrishB I really like Armitage 👍🏻 4y

conorpunchbook @TrishB he was my gateway poet some ten years ago. So versatile. You might like this too ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p085jg48/episodes/downloads 4y

Mr Armitage - new Poet Laureate 😁❤️ I like.

arlenefinnigan Didn't think he'd take the Queen's shilling. Good luck to him. Hope he continues to use plenty of swearwords. 😉 6y

TrishB @arlenefinnigan he‘s giving the money to an annual competition on climate change (writing a poem obviously!) Hoping he keeps up the swearing and the northern accent. 6y

arlenefinnigan @TrishB excellent. 6y

I love a lot of Armitage but this collection is a bit hit and miss for me - some great ones, but not enough to reflect from the not so great!

so-so

So I didn't want to start a new book tonight as I'm going to a Robin Hobb signing tomorrow and that book is being read the minute I get home!
But I literally can't sit without a book, so read some poetry. I love Simon Armitage - but this was just so-so. Some good poems, some ok. The best was Thank You for Waiting.
The cover though 💗

Melissa_J I'm jealous that you get to go to a Robin Hobb signing 😉 8y

TrishB @Melissa_J I'm so excited 😀 but I know my heart will break when Fitz and the Fool is over 💔 8y

Melissa_J @TrishB I still have the last book to read in Tawny Man before I start the latest trilogy. I love the characters and world! I too will be sad when it's over, but I still have the Rain Wilds books to look forward to. I loved Liveship Traders. 8y

Andrew65 I still need to read my first Robin Hobb book, hoping to get to it in May. 8y

TrishB I'm up to date except for the new one 😔 may have to start a re-read @Melissa_J 8y

TrishB @Andrew65 ohhh you have all the books to read!! Don't start with the Soldiers trilogy..... 8y

Andrew65 @TrishB Think it was @Melissa_J that advised me to start with The Assassins Apprentice so that it what I have planned in. 8y

TrishB @Andrew65 yep that's the one to start with 👍 8y

Andrew65 @TrishB @melissa_j I have the first one in the trilogy in ebook form, and book 2 and 3 as audiobooks. 8y

TrishB @Andrew65 @Melissa_J they are probably my favourite fantasy series! 8y

Andrew65 @TrishB That's a very glowing recommendation. 8y

Melissa_J @Andrew65 you'll love them Andrew! 8y

TrishB @Andrew65 said with some trepidation!! Don't usually say favourites, but it probably is. 8y

Andrew65 @TrishB 😊 8y
