BACK with Write Angle, guest poet Steve Pottinger has gigged up and down the country, taking his irreverent, comic and political poetry to pubs, clubs and festivals, entertaining audiences from Penzance to St Andrews.
He runs workshops for the Communication Workers Union – among others – and has his work published regularly in online magazines.
Steve’s poetry goes from personal to global, with some wild detours via his imaginative, outrageous mind-map. In the aftermath of the Brexit and Trump votes, his poems ‘Stabberjocky’ and ‘imagining a world where Donald Trump visits the West Midlands’ both proved extremely popular.
He’s also one-third of a poetry collective ‘Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists’, who perform regular spoken-word nights in the West Midlands.
