I am a writer from Dublin, Ireland.
My writing has been published in The New York Times, Granta, The Guardian, The Cut, The Stinging Fly, online for the BBC, CNN, and in The Irish Times where I write a weekly column on society, politics, and culture, as well as features and interviews, with a particular focus on social change, art, and urbanism.
In theatre, live performance and audio works, I have worked with THISISPOPBABY, with whom I created the immersive solstice audio experience, Grianstad, and with Dead Centre (Illness As Metaphor).
As a festival and events curator, I have programmed festivals for Ireland’s National Concert Hall (UTOPIA, 2021), The Gate Theatre in Dublin (The Bechdel Fest, 2023), OneTwoOneTwo (music documentary festival at the Light House Cinema, Dublin), as well as multiple poetry, music, and cultural events at festivals including Beyond The Pale, Body & Soul, Dublin Fringe Festival, Bram Stoker Festival, and more.
I have written extensively on Irish social change and culture, publishing an oral history on the Irish marriage equality movement In The Name Of Love (2014, The History Press), and as editor of the anthology Repeal the 8th (2018, Unbound).
I run the zine press 4Ls Press and the publishing press, Sliver, supported by the Arts Council/An Comhairle Ealaíon. Publications include I Went To Train A Crow (with Dorje de Burgh), Now Is The Time (with Dorje de Burgh), and Situation (with Dorje de Burgh and Sarah Francis). Sliver Salon, Sliver’s live literature event has featured guests including Rosie O’Donnell, Sarah Schulman, Oisín McKenna, Dr. Liam Cagney, and Julie Fogarty.
