Irishman in Paris. Intermittent poet and occasional translator. Former academic: research on identity, psychology & religion, sexualities, and qualitative approaches.
Very pleased to see ‘My father at prayer’ published in ‘Pennine Platform’, a longstanding, independent, self-supporting poetry magazine.
The poem presents a childhood memory that surfaced in a weekly ‘cercle de silence’ in Paris during the assault on Gaza.

That’s really unfortunate. Prole had a distinctive voice and a personal approach to its contributors. It’ll be missed.
I was lucky enough to have a poem included in issue 35 last year. (‘On opting for gay marriage’ - text below with one word concealed to protect those of a sensitive disposition.)

I’m never sure if my published poetry reaches many people so I’m delighted to see “Bealtaine Fire” appear in the current issue of an east Donegal newspaper, Finn Valley Voice. I hope the farmer narrator’s voice is carried far! (BTW The last stanza is a translation into Irish of the penultimate one.)

I was delighted to receive the latest edition of The Stony Thursday Book, produced by Limerick Arts Office. With nearly 140 pages of poems from over 80 poets, it’s a delightful, diverse anthology. I’m proud to have had a short poem included in such esteemed company. Congratulations to all.

1/2 Delighted to have my poem “Opening the Way with Words” included in issue 3 of @thebelfastreview.bsky.social

It’s a tribute to my mother, Rosaleen Coyle, who encouraged me to read in my childhood and made sure I always had space and time to read.

@godlessmystics.bsky.social Can you believe this was 6 years ago today? It seems like a lifetime ago.

Delighted to have had my poem, “Building the kingdom on scone bread” included in issue 2 of @thebelfastreview.bsky.social
Centred on my grandmother, Hannah McGinley, the poem celebrates the sacredness of the everyday heroism of generations of Irish women.
