That Old-Time Religion by Peter Didsbury

Peter Didsbury has been getting wildly enthusiastic reviews of his work for many years now. The TLS called him the best new poet published by Bloodaxe. His first collection, The Butchers of Hull, came out in 1982. He won a Cholmondeley Award for his second collection, The Classical Farm (1987), which was also a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. In That Old-Time Religion, his staggering powers of invention are again on display, and his flouting of convention and subversive humour are as outrageous as ever.
