    I Never Did Have Herpes - Tolerating Torturous Therapies For A Childhood Disease

    In this podcast, I reflect on my encounter with the childhood hip disorder, Perthes, and recount some of the barbaric treatments myslef and my fellow sufferers had to put up with back in the 1970s. Ultimately, I learn that writing a funny silly peom about the whole sorry episode, in a northern accident, may not bring closure, but does help to place the illness in the context of a wider life of shite.

  5. Ode To A Libray - A Poem In Praise Of Public Libraries

    Ode To A Libray - A Poem In Praise Of Public Libraries

    As a result of funding cuts by Birmingham City Council, there is now a proposal to reduce the library services budget by up to 40%. This would mean that many beloved local libraries around Birmingham would need to close, staff levels would be reduced, transferring library services to other non-council owned locations and creating an unspecified number of “hub” libraries.  This plan would be an unprecedented disaster for everyone that uses the vitally important services provided by our public libraries, which lie at the heart of our communities.  A campaign called Birmingham Loves Libraries has been formed by members of the public in order to try and overturn this decision and get Birmingham City Council to realise just how important our local libraries are.   Link with the campagn here https://www.birminghamloveslibraries.org/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/949227466905839/ https://twitter.com/BrumLibraries https://www.instagram.com/brumloveslibraries/
