Three Irish Poets: Rooney, Gillis, Wheatley | Wales Arts Review

Three Irish Poets: Rooney, Gillis, Wheatley | Wales Arts Review | The Irish Literary Times | Scoop.it

Padraig Rooney was born in Monaghan. He is interested in poems whose idiom is part-Irish, part-something else. ‘The Harmattan’, from his next collection Dust Devils, is a dust devil itself.

Alan Gillis was born in Belfast. His verbal inventiveness lends itself, equally productively, to both urban and rural poems.
