John Barclay

Performance Poet


 John Barclay is a writer, entertainer and performance poet based in Dorset, England. Deftly crafted pieces in styles to suit their subjects, his poems are dramatic rather than descriptive, in-your-face rather than introspective. Whether angry, moving, surreal, witty or daft, John presents them with charm and theatrical flair, proving that poetry has come out of the dusty bookcase into the real world, or at least the world of entertainment.
  In 2005 he brought out a collection of poems called 'The Blood of Others'.  He has written plays, sketches, comedy material, song lyrics, newspaper articles and travel memoirs. He is currently preparing a book of the recent journey he made around the world without flying.

Our group was launched on the 18th November 2009 and we were opened by Performance Poet Mr John Barclay 'go for it girl, her creed'- the second part of our evening had a reading from Performance Poet Mr Peter John Cooper; putting the Co-operative into poetic verse.

   Our cake especially baked by Annalisa, was cut by the Author Pam Fudge; Pam also gave us a reading of some of her own poetry. Throughout the evening there were also readings from Mary Paterson, Ray Wills, Jane Skellett and Anthony Hayward. A great evening was had by one and all, and the group received some very positive feedback with an increase in membership.
