Michael John Pike, also known as Spike the Poet, is a former soldier who served in the Scots Guards on operations in Northern Ireland.
Having witnessed the ugly side of humanity, both in the Army and on civvy street, Michael found that “poetry is my path to a more enlightened and peaceful way of life.”
As a Veteran For Peace, Spike has given talks to young people in schools, interacted with former members of the IRA including speaking engagements with Pat Magee, and continues to perform his poetry at events around the country.
