John W Sexton"It is the job of the poet, above everything, to surprise us, to make new what we once thought of as ordinary, and for the king to be "pleased with his deception". This kingpoet has been pleasantly deceiving us for decades now. As one of Ireland's maor, and criminally underrated poets, he has stirred us and whirred our imaginations to all kinds of frenzies, not only in his relentless quest for new forms and delights but in his mesmeric live performances too." - Colin O'Sullivan, novelist, author of The Starved Lover Sings, The Dark Manuel, My Perfect Cousin (all from Betimes Books) Read More Read Less
