诗歌馅饼

Roger McGough’s collection is an invitation to be excited about poetry and not be limited by the world: ‘Let your imagination/Feed on the fantastic/Let it move like quicksilver/Stretch like elastic.’ Some of the poems can be described as deconstructionalist, evidenced by two poems ending with the line ‘Such is the power of poets’, subverting certainty by choosing the viewpoint of an unlikely persona from which to write and asserting control and flexibility when making that choice.

诗人用语言，形式和想法播放 - 不仅仅是用诗歌，而是用菠萝 - '可怕作为手榴弹'！As the title suggests, food is a subject often chewed upon throughout the collection whether it’s the fate of a chip summed up in English and French, the difficulty of finding a rhyme for sausages or the delicious variety of ingredients that can be baked in a poetry pie.
