Green

A winner of the Gerald Manley Hopkins Poetry Prize, he has also been shortlisted for the Hennessy/Sunday Tribune poetry award. His work is featured in anthologies, including the inaugural Forward anthology. His first collection. The Stubble Fields, was published in 2001. Green shows a writer reconciling his rural heritage with an Ireland in the process of change. The title teases out the implications of leavings; the parting with loved ones; what is left to us; and the scraps we are left with.
