It was lovely to run into the poet, Gemma Lees and her engaging son, Tommy at Cultureword's Oldham Writing Festival, the other week.
Her new poetry book, 1000 years, tracks the Romany/Gypsy history in Gemma's inimitable way.
Gemma has a warm, humourous personality that shines through her poetry. It is sometimes raw, always passionate, and speaks to us in her intersectional Northern voice.
Her poems are humourous, exploratory, tender, and hard hitting. An exceptional read!
☆☆☆☆☆Highly recommended read.
