Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love?

4.16 (431 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Brian Bilston

A hilarious and moving poetry collection. The perfect, witty gift for Valentine’s and beyond.

‘Bilston is a magician with words’ - Guardian

Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? is a wonderful collection of poems by Brian Bilston, Twitter’s ‘unofficial poet laureate’, in which he frets over the challenges of modern life, celebrates the pleasures of books, broods over politics, and ponders the curiosities of language.

But at its heart, this is a collection of poems about love. From our caveman days to the internet era, from first dates to love in old age, Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? has a love poem for every time, place and occasion – and will stir the soul of even the most jaded romantic.

'If you like a) laughing or b) words which rhyme with each other, you will love Brian Bilston' - Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club

‘Brian Bilston is a laureate for our fractured times.’ - Ian McMillan

‘Part John Cooper Clarke, part Frank Sidebottom . . . all brilliant.’ - Esquire

About Brian Bilston

Brian Bilston is clouded in the pipe smoke of mystery.

The author of Diary of a Somebody, he has been described as the Banksy of poetry and Twitter’s unofficial Poet Laureate. With over 50,000 followers, numbering J. K. Rowling, Roger McGough and Frank Cottrell Boyce amongst many, many other luminaries, Brian has become truly beloved by the Twitter community. His first collection, You Took the Last Bus Home, was published by Unbound.

He won the Great British Write Off competition in 2015 – and was the Poet in Residence for the World Economic Forum in 2016. There have been features on him on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the BBC news website, the Irish Times, the Independent and the Smithsonian Magazine. Most of these features seem to have largely centred around his pipe.
