Callum Lee Krzysik Waiting on Biography ... Domenico Barra Domenico Barra, better known as Domì, is an Italian artist, poet and singer. He was born on the 9th September 1982 in the ancient Greek town of Neapolis know today as Napoli. It was a sunny morning the day his extraordinary life began, perhaps one of the few in his life because of course for most extraordinary beings... everyday is stormy. After roaming the streets of Napoli for many years, he eventually moved to England at the age of 19. Steven Francis I'm a 37 year old poet living in Carmarthen. Been writing for 21 years, poetry, plays, essays. Everything inspires me, music, film, travel even politicians! A few of my favourite writers include Ezra Pound, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Buckowski. But time and time I return to the Romantics and discover something new. I have three collections of poetry written and find it the perfect way to express myself freely. Patrick Mullen Hi my name is Paddy, I am married with two children whom with my wife are my life. I have been writing poetry on and off now for about ten years. I work for a builder, but I have done various jobs in my time. I write poetry to make myself and other people feel better. I have been published before and it has driven me on to w rite more and more. Samantha King I've just turned 16 and I started writing two years ago. For me, poetry is an experience where I can unwind and let my emotions rule over me. I was first published in a Forward Press anthology called 'Memories Are Made Of This' in November 2007. I started writing poetry first of all because I needed an outlet to my frustration and despair. I'm glad to say it worked and eventually I began writing much lighter poetry. I tend to stick to environmental and romance. Paul Weightman Paul Weightman was the youngest of three sons, born in May 1955 on the Island of Malta . . .

Dominic Davies Dominic is twenty years old, currently studying English Language and Literature at the University of Liverpool, where he has, after studying the great poets such as Wordsworth, Shelley, Coleridge, Milton, Johnson and Swift to name a few, been inspired to undertake some writing of his own.
