The Heavy-Petting Zoo [Paperback]

Clare Pollard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 27, 1999 | ISBN-10: 185224481X | ISBN-13: 978-1852244811 | Edition: First UK edition

This young British poet's pieces are fresh and energetic, barbed with a modern girl's cynicism, but tempered with open-eyed hope as well as wry acceptance. Here the male of the species is shown in all his preening glory, his growling and posturing exposed but also given marks out of ten. This book gives us the world according to Clare Pollard, an insider's in-your-face portrayal of the tarnished lives of today's bright young things.
