Recent Press (Part I): Stride Magazine / The Stinging Fly / Long Poem Magazine / 'The Greece That Hurts'

I'm grateful for attention my work continues to receive from other poets and writers, reviewers and editors, essayists and academics. I'm especially pleased when this is not confined to discussions of the most recent book, but extends to the broader arc of my practice, giving a multifaceted and cumulative reading of it. This is Part One of a two-part post rounding up some commentary that appeared over the first half of 2024. It focuses on reviews and essays on my books or other published work. Part Two ( coming soon now available here ) will log coverage of activities of mine that extend beyond print publishing. * On 11 January 2024, UK-based  Stride Magazine published a review of  Contemporaneous Brand Strategy Document (Veer Books, 2023) which I was happy to note given the attention Stride gives to poetry from small presses and in broadly experimental modes, and especially since in the past the magazine published one of the most comprehensive reviews of my third boo...

DIAL (Chapter 11: November) at The Complex (Kirkos: The Depot Sessions)

On Friday 21 November 2025 I performed a live hour-long version of Chapter 11: November from my ongoing durational project DIAL , this time in collaboration just with Keith Lindsay on electronics and live radio feedback. The performance took place in The Depot, The Complex Arts Centre’s large warehouse performance space, and it was part of Kirkos' takeover of The Depot Sessions . Kirkos is a music group from Dublin, as well as the operator of a DIY venue with a radically open approach to programming.  The Complex is the only multi-disciplinary arts centre in Dublin's north inner city, combining seventeen studios, a large warehouse performance space and a gallery. * A four-and-a-half-hour live extravaganza with performances of various kinds and durations happening at times simultaneously within The Depot, this was a wonderfully conceived and delivered event with a borderless, communal, quasi-anarchic, and ego-free vibe not often encountered in Dublin, taking its cue from the...

The Expanded Field + SERIES 04

A couple of weeks ago I recorded a short excerpt from a new long poem of mine called 'Hallucinations' for the December 2025 edition of Jennifer Redmond & Matthew Geden 's monthly hourlong radio show The Expanded Field, broadcasting on éist radio. éist is a Cork-based volunteer-run internet radio collective dedicated to fostering creativity, collaboration, and community engagement through digital radio. In The Expanded Field , "strategies of poetic creation are debated and extended by audio effects. Aesthetic and ethical boundaries are pushed out and beyond the page." 'The Expanded Field - Baa Boo Humbug' was broadcast at 4pm on Wednesday 17 December 2025 as a mix of experimental sounds, music, interview, poetry and live performance. My section runs for approximately 7 minutes and it's accompanied by sounds from Irene Murphy and Mick O'Shea . Thanks to Jenny for soliciting my contribution. Broadcast information, including a breakdown of the li...
