Our headliner for Bad Language on June 29th at The Castle is RICHARD BARRETT, Richard Barrett’s poetry collections include A Personal History of Apathy, Endless / Nameless with Rachel Sills, and HUGZ. His new collection LOVE LIFE! is forthcoming on Stranger Press. He’s currently working on The Saragossa Manuscript, which takes in the 1990s West Yorkshire rave scene, and Super Normal, described as “a non-fiction prose account of Richard’s contribution to the history of the world during the years 2013 to 2015”. Locals may know Richard best as a mainstay of Manchester poetry night The Other Room. And when he’s not being experimental with poetry, he spends time following celebrity Twitter feuds.
