About me:
I am an Irish poet living in Galway on the West coast. My first collection of poems, 'The Boy With No Face', was published by Salmon Poetry in February 2005. For more about The Boy With No Face see http://www.salmonpoetry.com/theboy.html The collection was shortlisted by Thomas McCarthy for the 2006 Strong Award for Best First Collection by an Irish Poet. My second collection of poems, Time Gentlemen, Please, is published in March 2008 also by Salmon Poetry. I am greatly interested in poetry readings, and especially the places where the best, the most literary, performance poetry intersects with the livelier parts of the mainstream.I have done poetry readings at many venues around Ireland, and also in Paris, New York, London, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Kansas City...With my wife Susan I co-organise the Over The Edge literary events in Galway City for more about these see http://overtheedgeliteraryevents.blogspot.com
I also teach poetry workshops at Galway Arts Centre http://www.galwayartscentre.ie
