'If you like a) laughing or b) words which rhyme with each other you will love Brian Bilston'
- Richard Osman author of We Solve Murders 'There is poetry to be found in anything if you
look hard enough.' You Took the Last Bus Home is a collection of ingenious hilarious and
touching poems from Brian Bilston one of Britain's funniest and best-loved poets. With
endless wit wisdom and delightful wordplay Bilston's first collection of poetry offers

as love death and the unbearable torment of forgetting to put the rubbish out all of
Bilston's poems are alive to the improbable nuances of the English language. Constantly
experimenting with poetic forms - from Venn diagrams to Scrabble tiles - this irresistibly
charming collection of poems will make you ponder the very essence of the human condition in
the twenty-first century. 'Bilston is a magician with words' - The Guardian 'Brian Bilston
