Swords, Dublin

I live in Swords, just outside Dublin, Ireland. I'm a poet with five published collections and a prose work called Savage Solitude: reflections of a reluctant loner. I'm known as one of the first 'perfomance poets' in Ireland in the contemporary era, but I prefer the term 'dramatic poet'. Basically I recite rather than read. I've also written three novels and the first in a planned four-volume story for children. Two of my novels are online as ebooks at Smashwords at this page.
