clare kirwan
For April listings of local poetry events in Wirral and Merseyside...
Clare Kirwan is a quirky performance poet, comedian and writer based in Wirral and active in Liverpool's Dead Good Poets Society. Winner of the 2005 Liverpool Slam, she most recently won second place in the 19th Feile Filiochta International Poetry Competition.
Clare’s
poetry glides effortlessly through the witty and profound. Her audiences love
her
flirting and marrying of language. A great live poet.
A true original, witty and inventive in language, ideas, imagery - and even rhyme [Carole Baldock, Orbis]
Welcome to a world where
silence speaks many languages, bones grow in gardens, and the birdsong
is only in your head. A world where all things are made of glass but breakages
need not be paid for, where moments are crystallized: the
lollipop man murdered, the iron statue running for it, and your mum
planning world domination.
