This review is from: Leaving and Leaving You (Paperback)

In Leaving And Leaving You, the poetry of Sophie Hannah focuses on love, loss, and the different ways in which people (for better or worse) can be significant to each other. Marrying The Ugly Millionaire: Here comes my mother carrying/Dried flowers for my hair./This afternoon I'm marrying/The ugly millionaire./Here is my sister with the veil./Everyone wants to share/My lucrative unholy grail--/The ugly millionaire./There are our presents, wrapped and tied./Soon they will fill the room./All marked (no mention of the bride)/No Dior, no St Laurent, no frills/No full Le Creuset set./Only my father's unpaid bills,/My brother's gambling debt,/Demands beyond and way above/What would be right or fair./I hate the grasping lot. I love/The ugly millionaire.
