Things My Children Think I'm Wrong About

'Memorable, musical, witty and just brilliant in every way. Nic is hands down the best new poet to emerge in the last 20 years.' – Sophie Hannah
Perfect for sharing and demanding to be read aloud, this funny, pithy, highly relatable collection of small but perfectly formed poems provides the antidote to the manifold frustrations and absurdities of adult life. A verse companion to modern parenthood, it is the ideal gift for any mother or father whose children know they are wrong about everything.

Nic Aubury grew up in the Midlands, where he spent most of his time trying to get girls to laugh at his jokes. Then he went to university where he met a girl whose jokes made him laugh. Now they have three sons, some friends they keep meaning to call, and a bag of salad rotting slowly in their fridge. Nic has worked in advertising and teaching. He started writing poems by mistake.
