‘An anchovy a day keeps the doctor away’ - the startling recipe for health for an ailing John Keats in Rome in 1821. If they thought an anchovy could nourish a poet, why not the famished reader? Open the tin with your key and savour these poems of love, art and politics. Dance with Sophia Loren, listen to the stories of people living with AIDS, discover the secrets of Picasso’s prostate. Learn how not to tile a roof, but find the right way to ask a question of a baboon.

Featuring original art by the internationally renowned multimedia artist Andrea Aste.

Steve Cranfield is a writer, translator and educator living in London.

‘Call it brain-food, emotion-stroking or whatever, but good poetry like this can give you a buzz’ - John Hyde

‘poems … booby-trapped with subtle but explosive jokes’ - Gregory Woods

‘Cranfield shows signs of rivalling the creative power of our best modern imagist, Maxine Kumin’ - George Klawitter
