About Me

hi there so you've found me conor a. performance poet and improvising poet compere and event organiser i ran the hectic open mic and improvised poetry noght 'Per Verse' (see the cute pic of me wrapped in the PV flag)i'm based in manchester but have performed all over the northwest and beyond. I toured Northern Ireland Feburary 2007i'd like to pin down my style of poetry and performance in a few words, but Rosie Lugosi kind words sums it up better... 'he pulls the rug from underneath the angry young man poet'i am an improviser and poetical one at that. i improvise under the title of conor a. and the holy church of the improvised word: a secular religion. boldly going to the stage unprepared and taking audience suggestions i create poetry on the spot.i've been guest poet, compere and workshop facilitator in numberous settings from art cabaret, queer events, performance poetry events literature festivals, music nights

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

i'd like to meet lots of people people who love performance poetry but who realise it is only poetry at the end of the day.people who look for the little things and how the big things are just shapes in the sky lineand i'd like to meet people who can offer me gigs
