Karl Riordan

In his powerful debut collection, British poet Karl Riordan recalls and celebrates growing up in the South Yorkshire coalfield - holidays and haircuts, football pools and pool halls, Saturday night and Monday morning. The Tattooists' Chair is a study in working-class history from the Barrow Colliery disaster of 1907 to the 1984-85 Miners' Strike.
