Line-upMike Garry

Mike Garry (from Manchester, United Kingdom) was a librarian for fifteen years, before becoming a poet and a spoken word artist. He began by reading his own poems to the hundreds of young people who attended his Library Homework Centre. They loved what they heard and encouraged him to perform them at live poetry events and slams, which he did, instantly winning fans and prizes throughout the U.K. His gritty poetry has won admiration far and wide.
