Simon Pickles Poet

Yorkshire based poet focusing on addiction, recovery and mental health.
Ex heroin addict with 17 years abstinence and a recovering alcoholic, poetry has becoming my therapy and outlet. 
I run one of the only sober monthly spoken word nights in Yorkshire, Spoken Worth, an independent night based at Keighley Creative. I also run weekly sober social events alongside my partner at her independent coffee house, Riri's, also in Keighley.
I hope you enjoy my channel and poetry.
