Randomness Darren Barker

In turns cheerful, romantic, melancholy or nostalgic, and underpinned with DB's trademark humour, this is a collection of poems that covers every occasion. There are friends and relatives, love and marriage, birthdays and dreams, but don't worry that he's gone all sentimental. There are still monsters under the bed. They may have been calmed by the sweetness here, but every now and then, there's still a jagged edge to provoke a growl from behind the curtain. This is a measured and thoughtful collection of poems that really does offer something for everyone.
