I welcome this first collection by Anton Floyd with open arms because it is a breath of fresh air on the Irish poetry scene. A long time in the making, the reader will find between its covers touchstones of Homer's Odyssey, O'Grady's Wandering Celt, Serrat's Mediterranean, the poet's own spiritual journey, love of family and friends, Cyprus and, of course, Ireland with its social and cultural diversities; worked on and brought together under the shadow of An tSeithe Mhór, from where it all falls into place. - John Liddy
'With its foot in the political and civil strife of Cyprus and its head and heart in the spiritual and physical peace of the West Cork hills, this book is an Odyssey for our times. Love, loss, family and displacement are its themes. Floyd has a gift for music and precision that makes this collection both delightful and illuminating.- William Wall
Educated in Ireland, he studied English at Trinity College Dublin. He continued his post graduate education at University College Cork. Having lived and worked in the Eastern Mediterranean, variously as a teacher, school principal, artistic director and producer, he now teaches in Cork. With Carole Anne, his Limerick-born wife, he lives in West Cork where they garden organically, transforming a rocky and watery place into their own Eden.
Poems have been published in The Stony Thursday Book, the Ghent Review, Live Encounters, The Shot Glass Journal, Crannóg, Visual Verse, Contemporary Haibun on Line and haiku in Shamrock. He won the IHS (Irish Haiku Society) International Competition (2014), prize winner (2016), honourable mention (2015) and was runner up in the Snapshot Press Haiku Calendar 2016 Competition. He's a member of Irish Haiku Society. A selection of his haiku is included in Between the Leaves, edited by Anatoly Kudryavitsky, an anthology of new haiku writing from Ireland (Arlen House). Poems have been selected by the Limerick Writers' Centre for the April Poster Poetry Trail 2017 and 2018 and a selection of his poems appeared in the poetry trail of the Kilkenny Arts Festival Fringe, the Inisheer Zibaldone Notebook and Drawing on Joyce, an installation by Nickie Hayden at the Olivier Cornet Gallery, Dublin. He has edited Remembrance Suite, a chapbook of sonnets by Shirin Sabri and an international anthology of poems, Point by Point, both forthcoming in 2018.
