The journal of Danny Chaucer (poet)

See all formats and editions

Danny Chaucer's journal in verse takes us through a school year in which he sits and dreams of Jenny Keane, loses her to his best friend, listens to music, composes lyrics, forms a band, finds a singer, and lives through the highs and lows of family life, schoolwork and relationships.

Pithy, perceptive and often very funny, the journal is an innovative account of the pains and pleasures of growing up, written by a talented poet with a sharp ear for the nuances of contemporary teenage life.
