Synopsis

A Sixty-Watt Las Vegas is the first full-length poetry collection from Mike Di Placido. The title, and much of the collection, is an affectionate dig at the expense of his home-town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire.

As well as observations on the town and its culture, past and present, the collection features cameos from various literary figures of note (Dickens faces up to Pizza Hut, TS Eliot shows up at a coffee bar), and gentle, affecting observations on life as a poet and a new uncle.

An outstanding first collection.
Peter Sansom
