Rick, the People's Poet
I have been nominated by Clare Daly TD for Irish People's Poet 2015. In her nominating statement, Clare highlighted my satirical poem The Little Elections. I am one of twelve poets nominated. I am both the oldest poet nominated and the only one not to submit a video. I've always been a low tech traditionalist, me, unlike Rick, the People's Poet (pictured above).
You can read all about the competition here. This could be my Susan Boyle moment, it really could; I've always dreamed of doing a duet with Elaine Paige.
