Awakening

<p>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.</p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(5 5 5 1)>'Richard writes sensitively and with heart about some difficult topics; the truest of poets.'</span></p><p> Louise Beech author of <em>Maria in the Moon</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>'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.'</p><p>                             Phil Pearce </p>
