Synopsis
If the apparently didactic title of Anthony Howell's book belies the poems in it, that is to be expected of a writer for whom little is what it seems. The law adhered to in "Howell's Law" is the law of surprise. And from the start - a lengthy poem in quatrains describing the attempt to get a horse into its box - the book springs poetic surprises. Howell's sheer invention, variety and wit make this a highly enjoyable book by a poet who, Peter Porter wrote, 'has style to spare and is happily unclassifiable'.

About the Author
Anthony Howell was born in London in April 1945 and was educated at Leighton Park, a Quaker school in Berkshire. By 1966 he was dancing with the Royal Ballet. He left ballet shortly after, however, in order to concentrate on his writing. In 1973 he was a member of the International Writing Program in Iowa. In 1974 he founded The Theatre of Mistakes - a company dedicated to poetic drama - which has performed at the Cambridge Poetry Festival and in art galleries and theatres in Europe and America.
