Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains some of the poems that were performed around the UK with Manchester's Live Poets Society nearly 20 years ago, some written recently and a new short story that was first published in the New York literary publication Anderbo. Donal Thompson was born into an Irish family in England in 1961. He has worked as an actor, writer and director in theatre-in-education and community theatre projects. He also performed poetry around Britain with Henry Normal and The Live Poets' Society. In 1992 he won the BBC Alfred Bradley Bursary for writing and emigrated to the Basque Country. He played and sang traditional Irish music for ten years or so with The Porter Sharks, Limerick and Turlach and worked in interesting times in Hernani and maritime times in Donostia.
