About Lily
Lily has a love of poetry, wedded to a passion for the male of the species.
It has been said of her – ‘Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her venal sensuality’.
A working-class Cleopatra made good, she never gives up. Venus, even unto her bath chair.
In this unusual collection of comic verse, Susan Gregory depicts the character and adventures of Lily White, a late middle-aged nymphette with a passion for poetry and the male of the species in reverse order of priority. Lily recounts her passions, amours and romantic adventures in a series of poems written in the style of the great poets in the English language. Witty, entertaining, erudite and often saucy, this highly original satirical work is bound to amuse, complemented by the line drawings of Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen.
Susan Gregory has had a long career as a writer. Best known for her critical work on Jane Austen, short stories for teenagers and the radio, this is her first foray into risque comic verse. Oxford educated, she spent many years as a teacher of English.
