Yes Life

“How can I be now?” This is a book charting one journey from challenging times to friendship and joy. To euphoric excitement and blissful rest, from old He-Man toys, choose-your-own-adventure books, moving music in grin-packed pubs and fantastic festivals, sublime seaside solitude, and many different ways for a person to play. “Love is who we are.” Dominic Berry is a Manchester-based performance poet whose work has taken him across the continents of Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia. He has won Manchester Literature Festival’s Superheroes of Slam and New York’s Nuyorican Poets’ Café Slam, and been Glastonbury Festival’s Poet in Residence.

These exciting poems leap from the page.” – Tony Walsh AKA Longfella, poet “A homage to youth, to growth, and to growing up. Whether it be the Latin rhythms of the paperback dancefloor or the 8-Bit energy of the nineties, Berry comes in full force.” – Alex Vellis, poet“Dominic Berry’s words are overflowing with life and energy. Mixing the comic and the heartfelt with craft and creativity.” – Gecko, singer & storyteller
