James Harpur

Formerly editor of Southword, Ireland’s premier poetry ezine, James Harpur is the current poetry editor of the Temenos Academy Review. He won the Michael Hartnett Award (2007) for ‘Dark Age’ and is a member of Aosdána. During his residency he will work on his sixth collection of poems. His mother grew up near Paris so he intends to explore his relationship with the maternal side of the family.
