Made in Captivity: Book Launch

nickNick Pearson’s ‘Made in Captivity’ is being launched at the Shakespeare Inn, West Castle Street, Bridgnorth on Wednesday 10th August, 7.30pm.

All are welcome.

The publication is available to order from our online shop.

This collection draws together a range of work written over the last ten years. Urban, sharply observed, often humorous and with elements of atmospheric staging these poems catch some of the voices of contemporary disconnection and the search for certainty.
