“Life is a good fire
around which stories are told
and, in the end, when the fire goes out
all we are left with are words.”
(from “Blast” by Kevin Fegan)

Let Your Left Hand Sing

'Let Your Left Hand Sing' by Kevin Fegan

2nd Edition Published by Five Leaves.

"Kevin Fegan calls his Let Your Left Hand Sing a long poem, but I wish it were ten times as long. I’ve known him as a true poet of the people for many years." Adrian Mitchell (r.i.p.)

“Kevin Fegan is a truly epic writer, who understands the broad sweeps of history and how they can be illuminated to dazzling effect by personal stories." Ian McMillan

"Left Hand is a piece that Fegan was compelled to write and we are all the better for this compulsion.” Lemn Sissay
