Tomorrow, I Will Go Dancing

"There’s a photo of us in a place we’ve yet to be.
It’s on the last shot of my camera,
the one I’ve still not taken,
I’m saving it for you.
But let’s not rush.
I am in love with the journey."

Master of Ceremonies at Matt and Phred's Poets and Mash, co-host of greenroom's fabulous Freed Up, Dominic Berry is Manchester's premier Queer Vegan Poet. This is his first fiery collection of fruit splattered verse.

With illustrations by Paul Neads.

Wizard

Following a full capacity debut at Contact Theatre, Dominic Berry returns as Wizard, one man struggling to fit in. In a unique world born of Dungeons & Dragons, Japanese RPGs and Greek myths, this heartfelt, honest collection mixes a poetry-spouting kettle, hilarious spell-casting dish rack and the true horror of a broken mental health system.
With b&w thumbnail illustrations by Brink.
