Help! Need to identify Dublin author/poet.

Chinafoot · 2010-05-04 19:51:35

Howdy folks, Could do with some help identifying a young Dublin poet and short story writer. He was on Arena on RTE Radio 1 last Friday (we think!) and we didn't catch his name. He had a thick Dublin accent and performed a poem about meeting a drug dealer. I've emailed the radio show but haven't heard back. Any help will…

Any help will be much appreciated!

Have you tried checking the podcasts from the RTE website? These might include the interview with the poet.

Yeah I tried that. No podcast available for that show yet. I'm being very impatient, I know :P
