Description

Mike was commissioned by the BBC to write a poem commemorating the life and work of music impresario Tony Wilson. The resulting poem “St  Anthony”, featured, was put to music by Salford born classical composer Professor Joe Duddell and has received wide international acclaim. Bernard Sumner of New Order described it as “Fuckin brilliant” and Philip Glass described it as “Magical” and asked Mike to perform the poem with New Order at Carnegie Hall in March 2014 as part of the Tibet House Benefit Concert. Mike continues to work with Philip Glass in Europe and the USA.

  1. rootpoem – August 1, 2015

    Mike Garry walks like a man and talks like a man and writes like a great northern poet. That’s northern as in centre of the universe and poet as in using words to go beyond words. Read him and leap for joy.
    Paul Morley ~ Writer, Broadcaster and Journalist

    Mike Garry is living proof of the visceral power of poetry as a vibrant street art form. That echoes with the wit and wisdom of real life in a brilliant torrent of words… that feel like the endless blur of the worlds finest modern city reinventing itself in the rain.
    Paul Morley ~ Writer, Broadcaster and Journalist

    Mike Garry is a genius
