David J Costello

I’m an award winning poet based in the UK. I organise Pop-up Poets and Pop-up Writers in my home town of Wallasey. I also work with Wirral Libraries to run a National Poetry Day Open Mic event each year at Wallasey Central Library.

My latest book Heft is published by Red Squirrel Press and won 3rd Place in the Small Press Best Collection Awards 2020.

You can order a copy of Heft or my previous Pamphlet No Need For Candles direct from my publisher Red Squirrel Press while my web site is being updated to include a bookshop, simply click on the image:
