Overview

'Initially written for the stage, My Dog Has Never Read This, is a prose poetry collection that navigates its use of comedy, absurdism and anthropomorphic characters through a distinct voice that may (or may not) want its reader to be there. Where is there? Not sure. Perhaps at the pub or in a living room with a nice cup of tea. Except it’s not a nice cup of tea, is it? It’s a scared one. Keeps screaming about how the hot water sets off its eczema. It’s upsetting and I want to go home.' - The dog from the cover

Author Information

M. L. Walsh is a Birmingham-based performance poet specialising in comic absurdism and the construction of narrative through voice and characterisation. Since graduating from the University of Birmingham with an MA in Creative Writing, Walsh has headlined numerous venues inside and outside of the city including the Birmingham Glee Club. Her use of the prose poetic monologue experiments with the translation of performance poetry from page to stage, and how theatrical technique (and its removal) can modify a text.
