Fast making a reputation for himself as one of Liverpool’s most talented up n’ coming poets, 35 year old Damien Kelly has a unique style all of his own.
Bending words and sentences into unusual shapes and gifted with a streetwise delivery that transforms the written word into an often surreal scouse stream of consciousness, Damien’s poetry deals with big themes; personal identity, political corruption, human nature and the city of Liverpool and its people. Yet, he does so in a thought provoking yet humorous manner, always providing unusual and unpredictable perspectives on everyday life and his own personal demons.
Although Damien has been writing poetry for over ten years, it is only recently that he’s been performing his work, recently blowing away the audience at the Dead Good Poets Society. With his constantly inventive turn of phrase and deep scouse delivery, Damien is a breath of fresh air in a city that claims to have poetry in its blood, yet seems unable to break free from the shackles of the sixties.
Damien Kelly is a truly modern poet, using the REAL language of Liverpool to describe universal truths. A selection of his work will be included in a forthcoming volume of poetry and prose by The Spider Project.
