I am in the listening trade. I make up songs and poems. My habitat is the North.
A long time ago I spent a long time in a friend’s bedsit and he used to refer to me as his ‘dear boy’ (think Withnail and I). The idea of misinterpreting these well known terms of luvvies endearing themselves to each other and becoming a slightly pagan, man/beast poet/thing took hold.
So it was a joke really, at first, but for the last 12 years (at least) I have found DeerBoy (certainly IdeaBoy) has evolved to the point where it can just about stand up. Then I sat in a puddle with some antlers on. My mate took a picture and Deerboy was born. That is the cover of my book: My Deerboy. Enjoy!
My Deerboy was written by Yorkshire based Dan Greenwood. It contains over 40 poems set amongst images gathered by the poet. It includes a CD that contains 4 studio tracks and 4 demo tracks.
