Collection: Ann Joyce

Ann Joyce was born in Co. Mayo, later moving to Boyle, Co. Roscommon where she was a founding member of the Moylurg Writers group. Her poetry has been widely published in literary journals and she was short-listed for the Sunday Tribune / Hennessy Literary Award for poetry as well as being selected as a participant in the 2002 Dublin Writers Festival / Rattlebag Poetry Slam. She took part in the Poetry Ireland Introductions readings series in 2004 and in the lunch-time poetry reading series at the Yeats Summer School in 2002. Living as she does in the area between Knocknarea and Benbulben in the north-west of Ireland, it is perhaps not surprising that Ann Joyce has an ongoing interest in Celtic mythology which is reflected in the subject matter of many of her poems.
