“Clive Oseman is the real deal. He’s a word-mangling, show-stopping, scene-stealing, full-on rhymer, a sheer dynamo of poetic prowess whose words flip and dance and mesmerise with comedy and humour. You’ll always feel alive when you listen to Clive!”
“Clive Oseman is unpredictable. His range from tear-jerking to tears of laughter keeps me on the edge of my seat. His performances are vulnerable yet fiery and his willingness to share his rawest emotions makes him relatable on both page and stage.”
“In this collection Oseman navigates the world with; a lyrical use of alliteration and rhyme, what it means to face difficulties in life, and how one small typo can change everything.”
“Oseman’s poems offer an insight into the man and his brave approach to life. The mixture of humour and honesty in his work will have you crying tears of laughter and compassion.”

Biography
Clive Oseman is a Swindon based Brummie who has been active on the spoken word scene since late 2014. Having been to a few traditional poetry open mics, he went along to Hammer & Tongue Bristol, thinking it was ‘just another poetry night’ and was blown away by the slam and even more so by the headliner Luke Wright. He came away from that event knowing that his life was about to change. He had found an incredible ‘hidden secret’ and had to get involved.
He is now, a multi-slam winner and has headlined at events in many towns and cities, as well as co-hosting events under the Oooh Beehive banner. He has always endeavoured to perform a mixture of serious and humorous material during a set, and this collection reflects that. His work has recently become much more experimental and much of his recent material does not lend itself to the page.
