Ross O’Carroll-Kelly and Me


My recent book of poems The Ghost In The Lobby is reviewed by John McAuliffe in today's Irish Times, alongside collections by Valentin Iremonger & Gabriel Fitzmaurice. You can read the review here.

Among other things John McAuliffe says the book is: “often as laugh-out-loud funny as Paul Howard’s Ross O’Carroll-Kelly”. Ironic that, as I once went out with a cousin of O'Carroll-Kelly's creator. Indeed, said brief but politically significant relationship may even be the subject of the odd poem.
