About

Aisling Doherty is a wee small poet from Derry. She has been wee and small most of her life, but has only been a poet the last six years. In Summer 2006 she was one of five mavericks from the Belfast Poets Collective to travel to Australia and have a fab time performing at six spoken word festivals all over the country. The same mavericks then performed across Ireland and instigated the International Love Poetry Hate Racism event. In Summer 2007 the same troop packed their gear and performed their poetry show ‘Pack Up Yer Troubles’ at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. This summer they are taking their new show ‘The Morning After The Summer Of Love’ to New Zealand.

She has grown a lot poetically in the last year, though no actual physical growth has taken place….more’s the pity.
