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
