Description
Schooldays was shortlisted for the 2016 Saboteur Award for Best Anthology
School…best days of your life?
Schooldays is a collection of poetry and flash fiction that tracks the memories and experiences of our formative days, memories that are shared by generations, yet each one unique. Glimpses and perceptions of childhood housed by the walls of education; walls that are often crumbling around us.
“The poems in this anthology do that impossible thing of honouring both the sweet and sour of schooldays. At times generous and funny, sad and regretful, what the poems all do is carry within them a necessary violence of feeling that shows just how much our schooldays matter. This anthology is a must-read, a reminder of our irreplaceable days.”
