Dateline: 21 November 2009
Andrew 'Spooky' Perrins is a Black Country poet, artist and local historian. The author of Ghosts and the Folklore around Barr Beacon has long had a fascination with interpreting the history, folklore and landscape of the Black Country in poetry and art - and with matters paranormal!
On 6 September it was announced that, as part of The Bloxidge Tallygraph's ongoing expansion of our Culture Supplement, Andrew had been appointed as our Poet in Residence and had been commissioned to write a number of new works of poetry for Bloxwich and hopefully produce some sketches as well.
We are now delighted to be able to reveal the first of Andrew's new work for The Tallygraph, in the spirit of the original Black Country dialect Bloxidge Tallygraph, which can be found on the new Poet in Residence page via this link or via the Culture Supplement.
