Book Synopsis

Particles of Wonder tackles everything from the quandary of a lonely photofit through to what money may sound like and how a refusal to heed an American small-town cop's warning to 'never cross the great magnet' leads to unimaginable consequences. The breathtaking sight of a sodium city floating high above the mountains continues the journey of surprise, as does an attempt to plan an epiphany, not to mention what happens when you order from the impossible menu or only have 24 hours to get out of town...Readers will also learn of the collective-noun collector's astounding career path, sniff the aromatic agnostic and discover there are particles of wonder everywhere.- - - - -'If the world were full of Mark Waddells, it would definitely be a happier place.' - Ariane Sherine, The Huffington Post'Mark Waddell is a poet who makes people glad to be alive, while waking them up to their own absurdity.'- Susannah Herbert, National Poetry Day

About The Author

Mark Waddell is a new breed of comedy-poet-libertine for a modern generation. His fiction has been published in the UK and Philippines and his poems have appeared in Great Poets of the 21st Century by The Imaginary Press. More at home in a bar than a library, Mark takes his poems to the masses with his live shows. Sometimes he is thrown off stage, sometimes people fight over his poems; some of his poems have punchlines, sometimes no punches are pulled. Once a regular performer at The Torriano, the legendary London venue known for performances by Pete Doherty, Noel Fielding, Scott McMahon and Lianne La Havas, he cut his teeth with the wildest. Mark is also known for the street signs that keep popping up across London's Kentish Town. A passer-by named Cuthbert, with an impressive intergalactic afro hair-do, said to him one morning, 'you've made my day' - whilst staring up at a sign that read 'on the cusp of greatness', the title of Mark's first collection, published by Valley Press in 2016.
