A beautiful collection featuring all of Kit Wright’s finest poems. It includes poems from his bestselling and universally loved collections, Hot Dog, Rabbiting On, Cat Among the Pigeons and Great Snakes and many other treasures too.

from The Magic Box

I will put in the box

the swish of a silk sari on a summer night,

fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon,

the tip of a tongue touching a tooth.

I will put in the box

a snowman with a rumbling belly,

a sip of bluest water from Lake Lucerne,

a leaping spark from an electric fish.
