Daniel Kay is a local poet who also plays powerchair football and has previously represented England in international tournaments. This year Daniel released his first self-published book titled, A View from A Wheelchair.

Now, together with his sister, Lisa Millard they have compiled a Christmas anthology to raise money for local charity Birmingham Dogs Home.

The anthology includes contributions from both the Wednesbury and Staffordshire poet laureate, as well as former poet laureates. All the poems are surrounding the theme of Christmas, dogs or both, and there are is an extremely diverse range of poems.

“We have been completely overwhelmed by the support of local and national poets”, says Daniel “We are so excited to share this anthology with you as there is such a wonderful collection of poems” he continues.

A launch event for the book has been scheduled to take place on Thursday 12th November at 7pm via zoom and books are now available to pre-order, just in time for Christmas. Books are £10 each with an additional £2.50 for postage and packaging, with all proceeds going to the Birmingham Dogs Home. “We do hope people can attend the launch as there will be a representative from Birmingham Dogs Home, who will be doing a short presentation about the charity,” says Daniel. “We would love for people to come along, hear some of the fantastic poetry from the book and have the chance to find out more about the wonderful work that the Birmingham Dogs Home do”. The book is available to pre-order now and for further information about the launch event or to pre-order your copy of the book please contact thekaysdl@gmail.com
