A skilful mix of humour and poignancy has made him a favourite of BBC Radio 4’s Wondermentalist Cabaret and Radio 3’s Late Junction. As resident poet in four of London’s parks, Mark explored what is meant by ‘common ground’ in 21st century Britain.

In 2012 Mark and his band Psychicbread were commissioned to write and record a new collection of poems for his native Peak District.

He has published five collections of poetry and has appeared in numerous anthologies.

Earlier this year Mark toured southern India with Indian poet Mamta Sagar.

Words at the Wharf starts at 7.15pm on the first floor of the cafe which is accessed by stairs. Entry is free. For more details, call 01629 825995,
