David Hardy

This is David Hardy’s second collection following the publication in 2023 of his first book Off-Beat Spark, Quirky Light & Dark Poems For Life’s Ups & Downs. Drawn from a fertile imagination and observations of daily life, his writing exlores the human condition with irreverent humour and uncompromising honesty.
One of his poems, ‘Musical Recollections’ was published in the American music magazine, Rock at Night, and he has opened for the band Death or Glory at gigs in the North West. He also performs at open mic evenings throughout Greater Manchester. David lives in Marple, Cheshire, and he enjoys his travels with the ‘Samuel Strollers’, a walking group whose members relish spending time in the Peak District to avoid otherwise snoozy Sundays.
