Des Dillon is an award-winning poet, writer, dramatist, and scriptwriter whose work has been published and performed across Europe and in America. His writing is critically acclaimed, popular and sometimes controversial, often addressing the elitism that creates under-classes. He wrote Singing I’m No a Billy He’s a Tim, considered Scottish Theatre’s most successful contemporary play. He won The Lion and Unicorn prize for the best of Irish and British literature in the Russian language. A product of the Coatbridge Irish, he is a natural storyteller as is evident in his classic novel Me and Ma Gal.
Des has been described by fellow writers as a poet who “holds our language up high.”
Daily Bread is his first poetry chapbook.
