Belfast Confetti (poem)

Belfast Confetti is a poem about the aftermath of a sectarian riot in Belfast by Northern Irish poet and translator Ciarán Carson.[1] The name of the poem derives from the nickname for the large shipbuilding rivets and other scrap metal that were used as missiles by Protestant shipyard workers during anti-Catholic riots in Belfast.[2]

The poem won the Irish Times' Irish Literature Prize for Poetry.^[citation needed]
