  • "you baby"

  • We saw him read at Poetry Live a few months back in Oxford. We were all very happy he still had in the peircing from 'My father thought it'

    Genius.

    He's a real funny fella, too :]

  • =[)  gr8...

  • @BoomBoomJocelyn Yes, he's from Yorkshire. In fact, his Yorkshire heritage is important to his poetry - many of his works centre around the embarrassment of being a 'working-class' poet e.g. not doing 'proper work'.

    Here, one can imagine he is Robin, and Batman is his father.

  • is he from yorkshire?

    good poet :) we're doingg this at school (;

  • thank you.. very good poet!

    We are doing this piece in English :)
