Michael Coady: a lovely obituary of a fine writer in today's 'Irish Times':

'He approached people with a great openness of heart and his was a calming hand in any tragedy.'

Bought his first collection on publication by The Gallery Press. Time to revisit.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of poet Michael Coady. We have fond memories of his good nature & generously reading 12 poems for the Irish Poetry Reading Archive in 2016.
Here he reads 'Stormy Weather, 1938' youtu.be/wtfePkWbXhI?si…

Remembering Michael Coady (1939-2024)

The poet Michael Coady has died aged 84 following an illness surrounded by his devoted family. We, at The Gallery Press will miss him sorely. We send our deepest sympathy to Martina, James, Niamh and Lucy.

Beautiful afternoon at the Steventon stream with Rory today. This place inspired 'The Stream at Steventon' in my latest book 'Swans We Cannot See' The Gallery Press. In this video I read the poem over photos I took of it today. The poem's shown at the end.

The deadline for the Ireland Chair of Poetry Travel Award has been extended to Friday April 5th at 5pm

Touched by the generosity of The O'Brien Press donation of books to Oxfam Ireland and by reference to Gallery Books as gems in the collection. At auction buyers should be aware many of our first editions are now rare collectors' items. bitly.ws/3ezsy
