MAT LLOYD – PERFORMANCE POET

TWO INCHES TO THE RIGHT

Follow up to the award winning ‘Blokes’. “I wrote the poem on a canvas with a marker pen the morning after I was attacked.”

The piece has been featured in magazines and festivals around the globe. It has been projected on cinema screens and is widely used in youth groups and classrooms throughout the UK.

‘Two Inches’ was recently added as part of the Canadian curriculum. Quite a positive outcome for a poem written about such negative circumstances.
