Out of Tune is the second anthology of poetry published by John Hartley, following the success of Seasonal Adjustments.
John grew up reading the works of McGough, Larkin, Rosen, Hughes, Hardy and Armitage. His history is littered with rhyme, largely through lyrical writing to accompany musical melody. Out of Tune is a collection of words that originally found a home set to music, but stand in their own right as poetry and the works in this collection date from 1990 to the present day. John won a certificate in an Observer young poetry competition at the age of 14 and once sang "I have a way with words but it's the wrong way". Find out here how true that is...
