  • Bio

    Danny Chivers started performing poetry in 2006 and now can’t seem to stop. Never one to shy away from controversy, his poems tackle subjects such as climate change, the war on terror, and world domination by militant pigeons. He believes that humour, sarcasm, dodgy rhymes and pop culture references are all suitable weapons in the fight against global injustice and against people who compare him to a fictional teenage wizard. Danny became Oxford Hammer & Tongue Slam Poetry Champion in 2007 and in 2009 reached the semi-finals of the BBC Radio 4 National Poetry Slam. He has performed at festivals, comedy nights, benefit gigs, youth clubs, conferences, campfires, Borough Council award ceremonies and in front of lines of riot police around the UK. His work appears in the anthologies “This Poem Is Sponsored By...” (www.corporatewatch.org.uk) and “Re:Versing The Damage: Notes From The Climate Journey” (www.the-nail.co.uk), and has been broadcast on Radio New Internationalist (www.newint.org/radio). He is a freelance environmental writer, researcher, and activist based in Oxford. Various aspects of his work can be found online at http://adaisythroughconcrete.blogspot.com and www.myspace.com/dannychivers. "Feisty, thought-provoking and politically rounded... seriously funny rising star" - New Internationalist Magazine “Half master of witty banter, half eerily reasonable prophet of environmental Armageddon” – Radio Foreplay “A star in the making” – John Rivers, Fifth Estate
