Reseñas
Some people look down at Pam Ayres's poetry. They really should look up. This book has essays and monologues as well as poems and wise words such as 'laughter cuts through the barriers', page 3. The author describes her early days traipsing to bookshops with copies of her first collection of poems written on an ironing board and carried round in a string bag.
An easy book to read and very interesting. I enjoyed reading where Pam Ayres came from and I don't mean just about her home life. This book shows where she came from in terms of her successful career. From boring, unhappy, dissatisfied years in the work force she finally found something that made her happy and that she finally had the Necessary Aptitude for!
Rhymes don't really scan, and some order is odd.

I was struggling with a book I was listening to and thought I'd give myself a bit of light relief by swapping to Pam Ayres' collection of poems. I don't even understand poetry normally, but I've heard Pam Ayres since I was a teenager and I knew it was poetry at my level. She is hilarious!
This collection contains two shows that Pam performed and then some newer work at the end. I'm surprised to hear myself saying it, but I was much more involved when listening 'with' others and enjoying their laughter, than when listening to the readings without an audience.
She makes shrewd observations on life about things that affect us all.
She makes us think, she makes us laugh, what more could you ask for?
