The Last Dinosaur in Doncaster

The Last Dinosaur in Doncaster is an exuberant journey down the ginnels of Yorkshire; from The Miners' Strike and its ramifications, to men who should have been astronauts and no-nonsense women who get stuff done. These poems celebrate the importance of belonging, in all its gritty splendour.
