Poet and novelist. My most recent publications are the novel, A Year's Midnight (Pighog Press, 2012), and a collection of poems, Life Monitor (Three Spires Press, 2009). My head is full of poem-quotes as I had a phenomenal verbal memory in my youth. Lines from poems still come into my head with a sense of enchantment. I also like skulking. As Carrie said in Four Weddings and a Funeral, If it comes to skulking, I can skulk with the best of them. Other likes are traditional Irish music, opera, and watching rugby, especially the Munster team. I also like getting away. A lot of my likes are retrospective, i.e. I was uncomfortable doing something or being somewhere, but recollecting in tranquillity a la Wordsworth, I began to see something magical emerge from the experience and this kind of retrospective view is often the thing that sets me writing.
