lives on the knife-edge of north Sheffield where he writes his throwaway poetry and where his pamphlet “My C&A Years” published by Dreich sits in a comfy chair








A statement (thread)



Finally got some proper time to read some poetry! Loving @Dreich25197318's The Candyman's Trumpet - free to subscribe to and brilliant. Especially good to see poetry pals @CharlotteOlivr @rogerthereg @RoyallMargaret @petedevonald and S Reeson's work in there - wonderful read.

@rogerthereg @Dreich25197318 I loved your poem, Rog. It made me both smile and feel sad at the same time: "I’ll ask men I meet in lifts if they could lift a woman above their shoulders swizzle them round and put them back on the floor so gently like a butterfly on a buddleia." Beautiful.



I’ve been asked to post this video by Tommy Craig, actor and lifelong #SWFC fan. A man deeply worried about his club, requesting Prince William’s attention. A slight slip of the tongue midway through, but it’s a heartfelt plea and he’s not alone in feeling like he does.
