My Poetry Books & How to Buy Them

Please support an author and buy my books directly from me. I’ll sign/dedicate them at no extra cost. For full details of how to order and pay please email me: neal@cccpworkshops.co.uk

If you’re unable to do this you can order them (unsigned) from any book wholesalers, retailers and public libraries who might also still stock my out of print books, as does eBay (mainly secondhand copies).

The Shape of Rainbows. My 12th book – due Jan 2024 - and my first mixed-themed poetry book since 2016. Published by Otter-Barry Books, there is something for everyone here: Peanut Butter Nutter, Police Car, Two Mums, Living Next Door to a Viking and The Day I Ate My School are just a few of the titles you'll find inside it. As always with my books, some of the fifty or so poems are laugh out loud, while others need further reflection. Ages 6-12, £9
