Publisher Description

From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon's first collection of poems.

The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent.

All the gifts so admired in Haddon's prose are in strong evidence here—the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism—but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention.

This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.
