People Make Mistakes; Mistakes Make People

The first collection from UK Writer and Poet Chris Martin, this eclectic mixture of performance poems, short fiction and comics acts a high-water mark for his work to date. The work spans topics including parenthood, drunken nights out, spontaneous group singing, depression, and glitter and has been created over a year of performance and public projects. Inspired by the poets of his childhood including the Mersey Beat Poets and Spike Milligans, Chris has blended their irreverent and often sideways perspective with the performance passion of modern artists like Scroobius Pip, Jess Green and Adam Kammerlin to create a style of his own. His work is not always safe for work, but is always designed to make you smile as well as think.
