Humbug - Boxed Poison

Poetry Poison: Humbug — The Full Dose

A dangerously indulgent dose from the Poison Cabinet of the Poetry Pharmacy.

This boxed prescription contains Poetry Poison: Humbug , chosen by Deborah Alma, together with a bottle of Humbug Poetry Pills, each containing a carefully selected dose of poetry.

The bound volume celebrates Christmas from its less glittering side: family tensions and unwanted visitors, shopping and spending, over-eating, over-drinking and over-doing it; terrible presents, ancient grievances and annual traditions nobody quite remembers agreeing to.

Beautifully boxed and ready to administer to yourself or another deserving sinner.

Contains:
Poetry Poison: Humbug hardback anthology
Humbug Poetry Pills

An Antidote to Christmas Spirit; for Quiet and Calm at Yuletide

• Very bitter pills
• Guaranteed adverse reactions

The glass bottle contains pill capsules, each containing a poetic extract on recycled paper.
