xAbout the Author:
Aoife Cunningham is an emerging Irish poet and artist. She grew up in the rural area around Galway, in the West of Ireland and is one of a family of six children. She is a twin to her brother Niall, has two younger twin sisters and two older brothers. At the age of 16 Aoife began writing poetry following a difficult few years with her mental health. She began transforming her days into poetry, prose and rhyme. This quickly grew into her passion, and writing became her lifeline. Aoife has performed her spoken word poetry at Fringe, ?ras Chr?n?in in Dublin and as a featured speaker at Over the Edge Literary Events, in Galway. Her art, both in physical and written form, is unapologetic, fierce, and raw. She describes her style as a 'heartist' and this has become her mission. From the Publisher:
Aoife Cunningham first grabbed my attention when I watched her perform her poem Circus of Circles. Like me, anyone who witnesses her spoken word performances will be struck by her raw honesty and vulnerability and impressed by the strength and power of her stylish wordplay. How such dynamic performances translate to the printed page is a question only you, the reader, can answer, but here it is - her debut collection of poetry. As a publisher, I highly rate her lyrical appeal and relish the opportunity to create a permanent showcase for Aoife's obvious talents as a wordsmith. Yes, spoken poetry is qualitatively different to printed poetry. Yet I would argue that there is nothing lost and much to gain in laying out these words and written performance onto white pages. Aoife has an extraordinary story to tell; one that is simultaneously many things; it is disturbing, tragic, funny, heart-rending, joyous, humorous ... but always visceral. You will feel her pain, joy, anger and sadness as you read her words. You will enjoy her earthy Irish colloquialisms, and you will smile at her pithy observations of life. Mostly, you will appreciate the steadfast hope that infuses all her work. I hope this will be the first of many published renderings of Aoife Cunningham's extraordinary talents as a poet.
