About this listen

You've got your greedy little claws on Key's audiobook. It represents the most comprehensive collection of poeticals put together to date. Whichever way you care to look at this, it is pretty much a wall of poems. There are lots of them. Too many maybe. If there's such a thing as too many poems, which in all likelihood there is.

These poems (by award-winning Key) are primarily about love, sex, dreams, death and fruit (strawberries, beans etc). This audiobook has come out as a sort of accompaniment to the actual book.

The two are quite similar, except this one's got snippets of music and the actual book is a bit heavier and can be burned in an emergency.

The release of the book, audiobook and ebook in no way tie in with things like 'demand' or 'clamour' but are more a result of Key having a full English breakfast with the right person at the right time. You shouldn't feel like you're taking the easy option by getting the audiobook rather than fronting up and buying the hard copy - some people like to enjoy poetry in the car and Key isn't the kind of person to suggest you jam the actual book against the steering wheel with your elbow and divide your attention between reading the lovely verse and narrowly avoiding a Prius. No, get the audiobook.

By all means, get the audiobook - ideally in addition to the actual book. Cue it up, and get it blaring out whilst you're doing other things.

Loved it, just a shame it wasn't a bit longer. His delivery makes it well worth it the drafts near the end are hilarious. Will listen more than once!

Tim's poems are a joy!

Some laugh out loud funny, most worth listening to, some could have been edited out, I didn’t think the crude ones as funny. His reading voice / persona is intentional but even so still would be considered a bit annoying for an audiobook narrator.. I guess that’s funny as a concept. Still recommended overall!
