Andrew
and his collaborator Polly Peters, an English and Drama teacher, are no
strangers to poetry and novels but this appears to be their first
venture into the "poetry novel".
Crash was published in 2004. Andrew and Polly both live in
Shropshire. The rural area influenced the novel. The story is set in
the countryside, and speeding is the main theme - trying to make young
people aware of the dangers of speed, and importance of road safety.
