Humbled and very, very, pleased to have a poem in next month’s The Ogham Stone. I adore the work of Donal Ryan, and to be published alongside him is an immense honour.
Words on the Waves Poetry Prize – Longlisted
Thrilled to have been longlisted for this year’s WOW! in Galway – http://www.wordsonthewaves.com/longlist2015.htm
‘Anathema’ – The Stinging Fly
This is quite special to me. TSF is instantly recognisable as one of Ireland’s foremost literary journals, and to be considered by the same publication that pressed the words of so many of my influences is a tremendous joy.

‘Anagnorisis’ – Crannóg 36
I am so very, very, pleased to have had a poem in the summer edition of Crannóg here in Galway. I’ve admired this journal for years.
My thanks to the excellent Elaine Cosgrove for looking over this one for me. If you happen across the current edition of The Penny Dreadful, pick it up. Her poem ‘Surfing at Streedagh Strand’ will roll around the swell of your conscience .

Not Passing By
On the way back south from the Macklin School; the confliction seems to be perfectly evident…
Charles Macklin Poetry Prize – Second Place
With the kind and wonderful Maureen Boyle.
Gregory O’ Donoghue International Poetry Prize – Commended
Admittedly frightened by the calibre of poet I found myself surrounded by – a humbling and encouraging nod.
