I feel very lucky to be reading alongside one of my favourite Irish poets, Tony Curtis. Curtis is a Dublin poet and was educated at the University of Essex and at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1993 he won the Poetry Ireland/Friends Provident National Poetry Competition. He also works in education under the Skagit River Poetry Project schools programme. he has several collections The Shifting of Stones (1986),Behind the Green Curtain (1988), This Far North (1994),Three Songs of Home (1998), The Book of Winter Cures (2002), What Darkness Covers (2003), The Well in the Rain (2006), Days Like These (with Paula Meehan and Theo Dorgan) (2008), Folk (2011), Sandworks (with the Irish photographer Liam Blake) (2011), An Elephant Called Rex (illustrated by Pat Mooney) (2011), Aran Currach (with the Irish photographer Liam Blake) (2013), and his latest is Pony (2013).
I will be reading from my novel The Ozone Cafe.
