Description

After a decade of performing sharply focused observational, protest and war poetry Richard has gathered together a collection of his best known work which is as fresh on the page as it is on the stage. 'Richard writes sensitively and with heart about some difficult topics; the truest of poets.' Louise Beech, author of Maria in the Moon 'Richard is an excellent performer so I was worried about his poems being in print, as part of his charm is his voice. But after reading them, I realise that his voice is just one part of what makes him a fantastic poet. I love his honesty and ability to jump from serious to humorous at the turn of a page. I've never been disappointed when seeing him perform and get the same feeling when reading his work.' Phil Pearce

Author Biography:

Richard Harries (not to be confused with the Bishop of Oxford) is a well known spoken word artist with a considerable following on YouTube. He performs throughout East Yorkshire but mainly in and around Hull. His first poem, Pirate Izzy, was written for his Granddaughter; and thereafter he began writing and performing at Folk Clubs and Pubs. In addition to several years at the Hull Freedom Festival he has been a popular feature at the Filey Folk Festival, Cottingham Springboard, and in venues in Leeds, Harrogate and Wakefield. Richard's historical poems have been published in American Journals and his war poems were read in Ypres 100 years after the first shot in the Battle of Bellewaarde in World War I. Richard is often known as the Bard of Withernsea or the Activist Poet of Hull having written for the Action for Hull Group, The Wilberforce Society and supported campaigns to save the Lord line building and Beverlygate.
