On The Boats

A snake-bite in the gullet', Martin Boileau Foreword from Sir Anthony Seldon: 'Like a fine Prosecco in summer, they trickle easily through your body, leaving you gently uplifted and transported. The author is a brilliant teacher and inspirer of creative writing, a passionate supporter of students and staff, and our very own 'Happiness Tsar', responsible for driving forward our pioneering well-being agenda.Many of the poems that follow reveal the author's rare combination of skill as a writer and deep human sensitivity. To me, perhaps understandably, the poem on the Boss epitomises that combination at its best.'
