Welcome to this dark and dazzling jumble sale, where If you pull aside a jam-stained coat and a frilly nightgown, you can enter a secret magical world of drunken carebears and narky buses, where clowns eat spam, sugar and lard butties and if you stand outside Netto for long enough - a rocketship will come and fly you away. A world where the moon is fat on hot buttered toast, wisdom is biro’d on the back of everyone’s hand and the weird and broken puff out their chests with giggling pride. Come in and meet Cat Diazepam, Bobby Bookshop, Veronica Pop, Mr Pinstripe and their friends and find out who brought Bambi’s mum back to life, in this, Jackie Hagan’s collection of contemporary folklore.
The Wisdom of the Jumble Sale is Jackie’s second poetry collection, following Shut Your Eyes and Put Out Your Hand [Citizen32, 2007]. Awarded “Best Emerging Poet 2006” by The Poetry Kit, and more impressively a Blue Peter badge [1990], she facilitates creative writing sessions for adults with mental health needs and performs poetry round the UK.
