Byline Tomas Ó Cárthaigh
Tomás works at security to pay the bills, as he doesn’t fancy being a starving artist. Writing poetry keeps him sane. Sort of!
Member of Tullamore Rhymers Club, Immagine & Poesia and other writers collectives, Tomás writes mainly in rhyme.
More of a man about a continent than a man about town, the funnier scrapes during his travells are chronicles on the bioverse (there’s a new word for the English language!) “The Life Of Reillys Grandson“, set to be the title of the forthcoming chapbook of the same name!
Featured in the Midland Tribune newspaper, and featured in the Words From Around the World anthology in aid of the Anderson Animal Shelter in Illanois, USA, Tomas is from Ireland and writes in English and Irish primarily, and has been having some of his work translated into other languages such as Serbian and German and French.
Tomas writes on all topics that come to mind, often on topics of the day. A prolific writer, the range of poems vary from current affairs, to the mystical and faith inspired poems, though he freely admits to sometimes having been the biggest atheist on the planet.
