Wrecking Ball Fringe Festival presents:
John Robinson is a Hull poet launching his poetry collection The Cook's Wedding, published by Ragged Raven Press.
Passionately and jubilantly Welsh, Dai Parson is a poet of inventive wit, intent on the exploration of the distinctly dark. Well known in certain choice circles for his warm and generously surreal readings, imbued by his love of words and laughter. Dean Wilson's poems bristle with the sheer exhilaration of being alive. Particularly sharp on characters in the margins, Dean Wilson is one of the rare breed who can make your belly bounce with laughter. Hugely popular in London and here in Hull, where he lives. |
