Sunday Morning Poet: Wayne Dean-Richards in OUTSIDELEFT

Wayne Dean-Richards shared 18 poems for us to publish during 2023/24. 'Are You' Is the 18th and therefore final one of those poems to be published. The collection is called It's a Mad World, But Funny. You can buy this handsome, perfect bound mini collection here, it's in an A6 format, it fits handily into many pockets. It is discreet for bus rides. Since we are a little less invested in the indie business alternative free market ideology there is a downloadable PDF version of Mad World right here. Or read all of the poems in Outsideleft, links are way down the page.
