Bert Flitcroft grew up in Lancashire, where he was born in 1946, and now lives in the Midlands. For some time he has been quietly, unassumingly building a reputation and spreading the poetry word as teacher, mentor, workshop leader, poet-in-residence, reader.....
This is a book of poetry that the general reader and the poetry enthusiast can both engage with – tough-minded, gentle in tone, full of insight, yet always accessible.
This is poetry that unapologetically reflects on the raw ingredients of life, ingredients we all share, while capturing those unexpected moments that make us all different, when we suddenly see ourselves and the world in a new light. A joy to read

Some recent feedback about the collection:
‘The more I read the collection the more I get from it, which is just how a poetry book should work.’
‘I gave a copy to mum and she loved it. She said the poetry was “friendly” and “accessible” and she wanted to read them over and over again, which has to be the best compliment.’
‘The book is a surprise. Such psychic mobility (empathy) and emotional understanding, and the willingness to write about it, is unusual in a man.’
‘Anybody who reads it would (should) feel part of the family. I got a real sense of the passing of time.’
