Synopsis

A vivid journey into Yorkshire life, voiced in sharp, humorous dialect and intimate character studies.

This collection uses dramatic monologues to reveal the minds and habits of Yorkshire people—farmers, mill workers, fishermen, and laborers—through their own words. It blends local speech with literary craft to offer a window into a world often unseen in standard poetry.

  • Experience a gallery of local voices that speak with humor, grit, and insight
  • Hear how dialect and daily life shape thinking about work, faith, and community
  • Encounter poetry that aims to make working-class experience accessible and memorable
  • See how the author uses dramatic monologue to reflect character and culture
Ideal for readers who enjoy regional poetry, social portraiture, and voices from the English countryside.
