Having bought and read Olivia Gatwood’s Life of the Party in advance of reviewing her live show and having seen poems in the contents titled Ghost story for masturbating at sleepovers, The boy says he loves Ted Bundy but doesn’t laugh about it and Blowjob elegy, I knew I was in for an evening of powerful poetry.

Internationally renowned poet Olivia Gatwood will be performing her gut wrenching and life affirming poetry first-hand at The Dancehouse in Manchester.
