Paul Casey is a truly international poet whose work is informed by languages from Irish and French to those of Africa, and his experiences of that continent enormously enrich this book. Paul Casey was born in Cork, Ireland in 1968. He grew up between Ireland, Zambia, and South Africa, and has worked primarily in film, multimedia, and teaching. While employed as scriptwriting lecturer at the Nelson Mandela University, he convened the greater Port Elizabeth Poetry Competition in three languages and four age-groups. His poems have been published in journals and anthologies in Ireland, the US, China, and South Africa.
