The Cure
Paul Birtill
I went to see the new Dad's Army
film last night. When I was thirteen
and suffering from my first bout of
depression my doctor asked me what I
was reading. “Animal Farm,” I said.
“No no no,” he said, “that would bring
anyone down – watch Dad's Army, it's
on tonight.”
Paul Birtill was born in Walton, Liverpool, in 1960. His poems appear regularly in national newspapers, magazines and literary journals and he has read them on national radio and at poetry venues nationwide. He has published a number of collections on the Hearing Eye imprint, including the best-selling Terrifying Ordeal and Collected Poems 1987-2010. See Paul read at The Social, 5 Little Portland St, London, on 29th November. More info: http://bit.do/Violette
