Pull aside a jam-stained coat or a frilly nightgown in the dark and dazzling jumble and enter a secret, magical world of drunken carebears and narky buses; a world where wisdom is biro'd on the back of everyone's hand, where clowns eat spam, sugar and lard butties, and where if you stand outside Netto for long enough a rocketship will come and fly you away. Come in and meet Cat Diazepam, Bobby Bookshop, Veronica Pop, Mr Pinstripe and their friends and find out who brought Bambi's mum back to life, in Jackie's incredible collection of contemporary adult folklore.
Jackie Hagan was raised on broken biscuits, by hecklers, in a little town that's now studied on the GCSE syllabus as a 'failed social experiment'. She performs poetry and comedy, is a playwright for Graeae Theatre and runs Seymour Poets, a creativity project for isolated adults based at blueSCI Arts and Wellbeing centre in Manchester.
"Amazing. A force for poetry." - Jo Bell, Director National Poetry Day
"Vivid and insightful." - City Life
"Language that leaps with bold panache, sparking sensuous worlds into being." - Lucy Lepchani, poet
Adult poetry / LGBT.
