Very much looking forward to it, i shall have a copy of The Poet with me for vivienne to sign. Cannot wait to get my hands on the new collection, the street poems were brilliant and funny and oh how I miss seeing Pat in place outside the bank.
There's a Pat Ingoldsby book launch tomorrow night in @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social . It is for the collection that Vivienne Baillie crowd funded. I'm just looking forward to being in a room full of people who loved him and his work again . Tickets on eventbrite.
