Roy McFarlane was born in Birmingham of Jamaican parentage and spent most of his former years living in Wolverhampton.
A solo performer and a member of the New October Poets, he has performed at numerous venues, sharing the stage with poets such as Roi Kwabena, Fred D’Aguiar and Talking Brothers. He has had poems published in anthologies and in magazines.
Roy was made Birmingham Poet Laureate in 2010/2011, which enabled him to share his passion for poetry and words in diverse settings across England and Holland. No subject was left unturned, with his material ranging from Holocaust Memorial... to bikes in Amsterdam, and from cities - to mental health, love and beyond.
