About Alice Lyons:
‘The couple of visits she made to Ireland as a girl and a college student shook her up (in a good way): the first poems she wrote of any significance to her were written after a college term spent in Dublin. In 1996, she had the chance to return to Ireland for an artistic residency, which was a turning point. She decided to move to Roscommon in 1998 and lived in the village of Cootehall for nearly fifteen years. She now lives in Sligo.
