What News, Centurions?

Angebote / Angebote:

What News, Centurions? is a collection of contemporary poetry by award-winning Irish author, Colm Scully. Colm Scully is from Cork where he lives with his wife and three children. His twenty years working in industry, as a chemical engineer, and interest in history, philosophy and science provide the back drop to many of his poems. He likes to use diverse voices from the present, past or future to explore every day themes. His preference for this narrative style, often in his native idiom, may be laced with irony, or welded together by an overriding conceit. Either way, humour habitually rises to the surface in his efforts to shed light on our human circumstance. Colm has had work published in various publications/web magazines including, Cyphers (No.70&74), Abridged (Mara Issue), Burning Bush Two (Issue 6), The Poetry Bus (2&4), The Stony Thursday Book (Issue 9), The Linnets Wings (Summer 2013), Boyne Berries ( No. 9), Wordlegs (14). He has a poem translated into Tamil and published in Indian Literary Journal Theeranadhi. He won The Cúirt New Writing Poetry Prize 2014, and was selected for the Poetry Ireland Introductory Series 2014. He was shortlisted for the Fish Poetry prize 2012, and the the Ó Bhéal Five Word International Poetry Competition 2014. One of his poems was commended in the Gregory O'Donoghue Prize 2014.
