Crediton Bookshop to host National Poetry Day event with author and poet Matt Harvey

FOR this year’s 25th anniversary National Poetry Day on Thursday, October 3, The Crediton Bookshop is hosting an event with the author and poet Matt Harvey reading from his book “Sit!”

This new book is a small, beautifully illustrated gift book of poetry about dogs.

Claudia Schmid’s drawings meet Matt Harvey’s words in this affectionate look at dogs and their humans.

“Sit!” is an entertaining, occasionally surreal, but mostly down-to-earth celebration of the strange, satisfying relationship between dog and human. Funny, eccentric, poignant, questionable and a bit weird – this book will appeal to all these sorts of people!

Local author, poet, lyricist, dog-walker and columnist, Matt Harvey writes about all sorts of things, performs up and down the country and is often heard on the radio.
