Synopsis
Dreamers in a Cold Climate is Tom Kelly's new poetry collection from Red Squirrel Press. "It is a beautiful elegy to work and the industrial working class." Morning Star Jarrow-born poet and playwright Tom Kelly has worked with John Miles on three staged musicals, with Alan Price, on Kelly, a musical documentary and the subject of a BBC Arena Programme ("There won't be a dry eye in the house," Lord Mountbatten). In 2007 he had a poetry collection The Wrong Jarrow from Smokestack Books. He has recently released a DVD entitled Voices by WMDJ, an artists' collective made up Kelly, Steve Thompson and Peter Dixon. "his writing strikes a chord with local audiences... even though his themes may be universal... the settings and characters are very Tyneside." British Theatre Guide "Tom Kelly provides pathos and humour as John Sullivan does in the best of Fools and Horses" Evening Chronicle "Kelly writes with an uncomfortable rawness and directness... an honesty we are much in need of." Matt Simpson, Critical Survey Red Squirrel has also published a second poetry collection from Tom Kelly, Love-Lines, and the text of his play Nothing Like the Wooden Horse, which was first produced by the Customs House, South Shields, in March 2009.
