You Took the Last Bus Home

''If you like a) laughing or b) words which rhyme with each other, you will love Brian Bilston'' - Richard Osman, author of We Solve Murders

''There is poetry to be found in anything if you look hard enough.''

You Took the Last Bus Home is a collection of ingenious, hilarious and touching poems from Brian Bilston, one of Britain’s funniest and best-loved poets.

With endless wit, wisdom and delightful wordplay, Bilston''s first collection of poetry offers profound insights into the common joys and sorrows of modern life. Exploring themes as diverse as love, death, and the unbearable torment of forgetting to put the rubbish out, all of Bilston’s poems are alive to the improbable nuances of the English language.

Constantly experimenting with poetic forms – from Venn diagrams to Scrabble tiles – this irresistibly charming collection of poems will make you ponder the very essence of the human condition in the twenty-first century.
