Carl Burkitt likes telling tales. He tells long tales, short tales, silly tales, sad tales. He likes to tell them online, behind a mic, in books, in schools, & on the sofa with his young family. His debut , WHAT DOES A BABY THINK IT IS? was by Enthusiastic Press in 2020, followed by the BIG BAD MIKE from Dreich in 2021, and the children’s book ELEPHANTS SLEEP IN BUNK BEDS from Beir Bua Press in 2022. Born in Swindon, now living in Manchester, Carl has only ever had six in his life… for now.

Carl has been a regular contributor to ABP since 2021. His work is featured in many of our , including THE WORST BEST YEARS & NIGHT TERRORS 📚

Hello! Just learned that BSL will be a GCSE subject (is it?). I'm glad things are changing. Wanted to let you know about Poetry For All: York, 28 Nov, 7pm doors for 7.30 start. Maybe you have pals, fam or colleagues up here https://ncem.co.uk/events/poetry-for-all/

ALT: Attached photo shows inside of large former church, now the National Centre for Early Music performance space. Large pillars hold of the ceiling; to the right of centre is a massive arched window. Audience is seated to the left, and to the right, at stage front, are: a BSL terp, almost hidden to the side of a female poet wearing a pink hat and looking at paper. Behind them on the wall, to the far right of the image, is a lit-up large screen with words on it. Overlaid are three text boxes: "Join us and feel included!" and "Headliners Dominic Berry & Pete Kalu!" and "NCEM is a steps-free venue, excellent acoustics, BSL terps, poems on screen". Below text about headliners are two photos: a balding young white appearing male, one eyebrow cocked, pointing a finger at camera (Dominic), and a medium-brown middle aged man with a sweet half-smile, glasses, and a white pullover, peering out from between two orange curtains (Pete). Poetry for all is a disabled-led, disabled-focused annual event held in York
