Hi, thanks for popping by. I’m Harry Gallagher, a prolific working poet from the north east of England, with half a lifetime of writing and performing behind me. I’m widely published, perform live regularly in all sorts of places – from festivals to libraries to writing groups to pubs to the great outdoors – and believe strongly in poetry’s redemptive power. Come in and say hello!

“Harry’s poems are full of the natural rhythm of his accent, the invention of his dry northern wit and the conviction of his own truth, not afraid to stand its ground.”

Henry Normal, Poet, Writer & TV Producer

“Harry Gallagher is a poet whose work will leave you breathless. Stunningly beautiful one second, brutal the next. He gets to the guts of what it means to be a modern human.”
Robert Francis, poet and host of Permission To Speak event, Stourbridge

“A truly wonderful troubadour of the everyday.”
p.a. morbid, poet and editor Black Light Engine Room literary magazine
