Privileged to have worked with the singular Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe on this Solus Nua project. The poems are an attempt to write from the perspectives of the two horses of Cú Chulainn, Liath Macha and Dubh Sainglend, and are generously accompanied by images and video by the artist Yingge Xu. The project is facilitated by Fallow Media, and owes a debt of gratitude to the skills of Ian Maleney.
Michael Dooley’s poems have appeared in the pages of Poetry Ireland Review, The Stinging Fly, The Best New British and Irish Poets 2018, and online at RTE Culture. He has been shortlisted for numerous honours, including The Strokestown International Poetry Competition, The Doolin Poetry Prize, The Cúirt New Writing Prize, The Mairtín Crawford Award (joint runner-up), The Dermot Healy International Poetry Prize, and was highly commended for The Patrick Kavanagh Award. Recently, he was selected to read for the Introductions series at The Cork International Poetry Festival.
