Barkin!

Mike's new book Barkin! is available now.
In Barkin! Mike Jenkins captures both the craziness and tragedy of his home town. These are poems and stories, using Merthyr's vibrant vernacular, about people who try to defy the oppression of a system which has made it one of the poorest places in the land.
