Flapjack Press
Author performance, interview, Q&A, and book signing.
Thursday 4th December, 6pm at Manchester Central Library, St Peter’s Square M2 5PD.
Pull up a stool, mind your pint, and drink in perfectly pitched poetry from the Great Northern Slam champion and four-time UK National Slam finalist.
With poems of pubs, politics, love, and life in Salford, Kieren King’s first solo collection is funny, fearless, and unapologetically Northern – poetry that belongs as much in the bar as on the bookshelf.
“Stunning.” Adam Farrer “Wonderful.” Mike Garry “Beautiful.” Oliver James Lomax “Alive with craft, wit, and spirit.” Reece Williams “The best of working-class poetry.” Louise Fazackerley
