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
