“…this poem presents us with such an interesting and varied list, there’s no way we can foresee the shocking humour of the last lines. A sparkling exercise in imagination and restraint to a point.” —Billy Collins, judge of the Fish Poetry Prize 2020, comments on the poem ‘Some Pleasures’, which he awarded second prize
