Karl Parkinson Writer.

Karl Parkinson is a writer from Dublin, Ireland. He is a novelist, poet, and spoken word artist.
He is the author of 5 books: The Blocks (novel), Sacred Symphony, Butterflies of a bad Summer, and Litany of the City and other poems (3 poetry collections). The Grind, a collection of short stories was published most recently.
He was the lyricist and vocalist for the musical-performance poetry group The King Mob (videos can be seen here).

Praise for The Blocks

One of 2016's most notable Irish literary debuts,
--RTE Culture

Smelted from ore of an uncommon kind; forged, hammered and delivered smoking to the world. The novel constantly astonishes and reinvigorates. Parkinson has set himself up unashamedly and without irony as a singer of the human soul in its contrary states of degradation and exaltation. It’s worth listening to him.
--The Irish Times.

This is such a brilliant piece of poetry/spoken word performance. I watched it when it was released last year and thought it was brilliant. Well done and solidarity. (And my apologies for being a patronising bastard, I know you don't need me saying that or anything).

Karl Parkinson, you've done it again. This is magnifico. I'm hoping your lack of online activity means you've been busy making art ;) Keep it coming mate.
