Welcome to the Irish Poetry Explosion

Welcome to the Irish Poetry Explosion.

This is the cafe to be seen in if your favourite latte is raw poetry, delivered piping hot from the edge. Irish poetry didn't die with Yeats in that car-bomb, it lives and breathes and demands your full respect. The poetry contained within contains all the fire and razor-sharp wit you'd expect from the Irish. It can be, at times, tough and is definitely not for the squeamish but this is real poetry, not filtered or diluted by common decency or morals.

Please contribute your work by clicking the SUBMIT link on the left. We need your expressions to make this the finest Irish poetry site on the web.

We have a shit load of new poems put up this time, featuring some new contributors to the IPE family. Be sure to check them out by clicking on the NEW link to your left.

All work is copyright of the author and is original and unique. Instead of pictures of the authors, we have created caricatures of the poets in all cases as some are trying to keep out of reach of the law, however we do not condone crime or the causes of crime.

Please feel free to comment on any works you like by using the link on the left.

Thanks,

the IPE team
