English poet Steve Wheeler is prolific in his output. This collection of stunning poetry, handpicked by the author, is collated from no less than ten published volumes that span four years, from 2020-2023. Topics include war and conflict, love and loss, faith vs religion, crime, city life, wealth vs poverty and many other themes. Steve’s poetry style is eclectic, ranging from highly structured villanelles and the disciplined meter of iambic pentameter to wild and chaotic free form.

All the favourites are here, including the heart wrenching Yasmina, the epic dreamscape Loose Ends, vivid depictions of urban life in Cardboard City and Metro Cityscape Panorama, horrific war poems such as Caught in the Blast and the bizarrely imaginative I Ordered an Uber but a Hearse Showed Up Instead.

Steve’s poetry features indelible vignettes of urban life, fluid fantasies of absurdity, visceral verse on war and conflict, gritty and frank depictions of crime and poverty, veritable word tsunamis, heart-aching renditions of lost love and unexpected avalanches of the comedic and the avant garde. These elements are deftly combined to make All the Best a must-read collection for poetry fans everywhere.
