Über Autor(innen)

Clodagh Brennan Harvey has written extensively on Irish folklore and storytelling, elements of which infuse her poetry, now the focus of her writing. “The Reconciliation Reel” appeared in the anthology Between the Light and the Half Light [Shalom House Poetry, Belfast, March 2015], and the poems “Mo Sheana agus Mo Shinsir” and “Psychopomp on Venice Beach” are forthcoming in two local anthologies [2016]. Her poem “Queue” was short-listed for the 2015 Bridport Prize.
