Daire

My short stories are sometimes inspired by songs and small town life. Artists like Neil Young, Nick Cave, NIN, Elliott Smith and Secret Machines often crop up in my stories, which probably owe a lot to writers like Tim Winton and Nick Hornby. I'm from a place called Cooley, halfway between Dublin and Belfast on the east coast of Ireland.

  • Folding Footsteps
    I've been taking it as it comes
    for far too long, according to some.

  • My Model T Town
    Lit up like a dashboard at night;
    the sky's a windscreen, looking out.

  • Uniting Men of No Property
    This was worn on the back of Wolf Tone
    when he was denied a soldier's death.
