What happens when the world greets your best ideas with an eye roll? Following the warmly received Observationism, Steven Trousdale returns with a second collection that is at once funnier, bolder and more personal. Across seventy original poems written during 2026, The Great Eye Roll Spectacular celebrates life's absurdities while refusing to look away from its heartbreaks. From Yorkshire humour to quiet grief, football to philosophy, love to loss, choir rehearsals to queer identity, these poems wander wherever curiosity leads. Some will make you laugh. Others may sting. A few might encourage you to pause and see the ordinary world from an entirely different angle. Written in a rich variety of poetic forms, this is a collection that embraces contradiction. Light sits beside darkness. Wit walks hand in hand with vulnerability. Observation becomes reflection, and reflection becomes hope. Whether you are already familiar with Steven's distinctive voice or discovering it for the first time, these pages invite you into a year of relentless creativity, honest emotion and unapologetic humanity. Seventy poems. Countless observations. An array of emotions. One heart.
