This collection is a treasure trove of observational poetry that amuses and delights, despite the poet's claim of ‘I write the poems that are shite’. Far from that, Snuff Bus takes us on a tour of human ballets in working class life. From delving on, around, over and inside bridges, to pissing on Katy Perry, Fulton's subject matter meanders like a river around philosophical thinking and pound shop multipacks of crisps, with a detour to watch the birds. There's a sense of the extraordinary about these encounters, an awareness of the watcher being watched and a celebration of the small things, that are really the big things. Do yourself a favour and buy a ticket for this poetic trip woven with hilarity, tenderness and love dressed as a gruff old mannie.

(Jo Gilbert, poet)
