Keiron Higgins is a poet from Halifax, UK. Before writing and performing poetry he was previously a DJ, playing in a reggae/funk and soul collective based in Leeds. Previously referring to himself as a “punk poet” due to specialising in rhymic social commentary and pieces based on mental health, his love of musical subgenres and general outlooks on life, his peers have dubbed him “The (suedehead) bard of Halifax” as since 2012 he has shared the stage with the likes of Nick Toczek, Atilla The Stockbroker, Steve Ignorant, Henry Normal, Brix Smith and Jeffrey Lewis to which he has been met with critical acclaim for his peers and audience.
His work has been featured across Halifax in a number of different collaborative efforts with the Square Chapel, performing for the re-opening of piece hall after the pandemic and his name adorns a poem he wrote specially for a bar called “The meandering bear” which opened in 2019 in the Halifax town centre.
With his writing, he has released a total of 4 self-published books, been in a painted portraits gallery, and has had work featured in numerous zines and anthologies.
