Daniel Wade is another wonderfully talented writer and with whom I have had the pleasure of knowing and discovering. Despite the fact that Daniel has yet to have a book of poetry published, for he is predominantly a poet ( although he is also a playwright, having a number of theatrical productions behind him ) he is hugely prolific and original. Born on the southern coast of Dublin City, he has grown up with the sea which is a predominant theme in his work. I know of no other poet working in the country who treats this subject as much as Daniel does. So, this certainly sets him apart. But that is not to say that he only writes about maritime subject matter. Here is his blog ( below ) so you can explore his writings further, and here is the latest piece of film which was first shown at this year's Dublin International Literature Festival in Dublin's historic Smock Alley. Daniel very kindly dedicated a Baudelaire inspired poem to me on the night, which I appreciated very much. Enjoy!

His review of my book Divertimento - The Muse is a Dominatrix can also be found in here.
