You’re Never Too Old To Know Better

Ryan Duggins is a Dublin-based performance poet and spoken word artist. He was born in the city of Wolverhampton in 1988 and studied creative writing at Staffordshire University. A published columnist, theatre reviewer and journalist, he now brings his working-class gaze to poetry. This is his first poetry collection. Praise for the author "In the evolution of poetry, Ryan’s work simply tells the art form to ‘get with the times, mate!’. Ryan’s poems make you laugh, make you think, while using the perfect amount of comedy and satire. This collection is digestible, relatable, and heartwarming, with some good chuckles sprinkled throughout.” Dearbhla Neenan - Host of The Flo Sho, weekly performance event at The Workman's Club, Dublin "Ryan oozes talent. His quick wit is incomparable and his writing is individual. I find myself lost between his pensive thoughts and his ability to take the reader on an emotional yet light journey. This book is an honest reflection of his personal life, and poses questions on modern day society, particularly within the working classes." Emmet O'Brien - Poet. Host of Dublin's Finest, a weekly showcase of Dublin's best spoken word artists at Sin E, Ormond Quay, Dublin
