'Instead Of A Card' Poem Pamphlets - Ten Poems about Sheds + Room for a message
These days, a shed is a far more democratic place – somewhere that symbolises the privacy and space that we all need.
John Greening’s wonderfully varied selection of poems explores sheds from every imaginable angle. The poems take us to a child’s hiding place, a treasury of exotic implements and rich aromas and a retreat in which to remember the past. Derek Mahon’s fêted poem ‘A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford’ creates a mysterious inner world which seems to exist outside time.

“A sea-side arbour, a garden shanty ,knocked together out of driftwood and furnished.with a beat-up sofa…”

This enchanting selection leads the reader quietly into private worlds and makes the perfect gift for every shed-lover.
