Considered work that takes time to reveal its quiet humour
James Finnegan's first collection of poetry is the work of a mature man with a teaching career behind him. His work has been highly commended by the Patrick Kavanagh Poetry competition, and published in Cyphers and The Irish Times, among others, writes
Born in Dublin, and now living near Letterkenny, where he taught at St Eunan’s College, his biographical note tells us that he holds a doctor of philosophy in living education theory. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds like the ideal qualification for a serious poet.
