Uncut Confetti

by John Hegley - £9.99  Methuen (2006)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780413775702 | ISBN 10: 0413775704

New poems, prose and pictures, a mixture of moods, jolly, melancholy, reflective, detective, tales from home and abroad, an uttering of fluttering delight.
 
The title Uncut Confetti has suggested a few images.
 
One is a confetti which has not been bulked out with inferior, extraneous material such as railway ticket snippings or small bits of toilet tissue.
 
Another is a pair of newly-weds, having whole sheets of confetti paper heaved over them on exit from the church or registry office.
 
And a third is a series of newly printed pages ripe for shredding into the appropriate nuptial shapes - a loose collection of celebratory pieces.

"Scandalously talented... an inventive, accentric, comic intelligence."
(Sunday Times)
