About Me

The Belfast Poets put a contemporary and definite Northern Irish spin on the world of poetry. They basically turn it on its head, give it a good shake and then boot it out the window. A well established group of unique individuals who have performed throughout the country and much further afield. Their poetry is more Sex Pistols than Shakespeare and their attitude exudes charm, humour, shock and entertainment.Join the fun at the forum www.nirelandpoetry.proboards57.com
