If your lover has behaved like a rat, your boss has sacked you, your siblings are maligning you, the long arm of the law has misunderstood you… or some rotter has parked in your parking space, then Thirteen Poems of Revenge is definitely, unambiguously, moustache-twirlingly for you.
With a witty introduction and specially commissioned new poem by poet and novelist Sophie Hannah, Thirteen Poems of Revenge offers readers a few tips in the art of vengeance as selected poets carefully place the literary equivalent of a banana skin under the feet of the approaching guilty parties…
As discussed on Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’!
“Revenge is a dish best never served at all, but merely fantasised about.”
