Kelpdings by Paul Maddern

Kelpdings by Paul Maddern

Paul Maddern was born in Bermuda and now lives in Co. Down, Northern Ireland. His poetry has appeared in journals and
anthologies. He is completing a PhD at the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen’s University Belfast, for which he is creating an online archive of poets reading their work in public. In 2006 he was awarded the James Kilfedder Bursary and was selected for Poetry Ireland’s Introductions
series of readings.

"Paul Maddern has a sense both of the necessary rhythms of a poem – something that looks right to the eye and sounds right to the ear – and also of poetry’s conscience. There is technique here, there is insight, there is passion, knowledge, zeal. Every facet gleams. Kelpdings is an achievement: it is a book I would not wish to be without."
