Y Fflamingo Du

In this joyous novel, poetry is used to convey a powerful coming of age story, and the journey to discovering and accepting who we are through personal growth and development.

We follow Michael’s journey from primary school, through the various experiences that come his way as he goes through life in several schools up to his days at university where he can finally embrace his identity and be the person he wants to be. Wearing pink feathers and thrilling audiences with his poetry as part of a drag performance, Michael feels like he finally belongs. The novel comes to a glorious ending where Michael stretches his stride, opens his wings and feels free.

Images of the flamingo and the wordplay present in this book will stay in the mind long after you've followed Michael to the end of his journey in this truly original work.
