Not All Men Are From Mars is a compilation of poems by Poet Laureate, Peter Wyton.
The collection contains poems centred around women including a range of themes from violence and discrimination to individual women of historical importance. The poems offer a searingly honest look at violence and abuse balanced by a humorous analysis of femaleness.
'Not all men Are From Mars' is perfect bound and has a cover specially designed by Juliette Percival. The women in this 55 poem collection, some real, some fictional, range from a Holy Roman Empress to a native American princess and include a lollipop lady, a stilt walker, a waitress and many more. Even Madame La Guillotine gets a mention, as does Peter's daughter who was asked to leave a pub [for knitting] and his wife who is exposed on a hillside.
£5 from the sale of each book will be given to Women's Aid to help continue their work to end violence against women and girls.
