About Me

My poetry is published by Smith|Doorstop and Mark Time Books. My poems have been selected for anthologies including The Everyday Poet: Poems to Live By (Michael O’Mara Books, 2016), Wolf Hoard (Border Poets, 2017), and Buttercup Polka (Border Poets, 2019).

In 2016, I won the Doolin Literary Festival Poetry Prize, and was selected to attend the Seamus Heaney Poetry Summer School. I am also a Laureate’s Choice poet…
