Gerard Smyth
Gerard Smyth (born 1951) is an Irish poet, born in Dublin in 1951 and began publishing poetry in the late 1960s when his first poems were published by David Marcus in the New Irish Writing Page of The Irish Press and by James Simmons in The Honest Ulsterman. New Writers’ Press published a limited edition small collection, ''The Flags Are Quiet'', in 1969 and another limited, hand-printed edition, ''Twenty Poems'' in 1971, followed by Orchestra of Silence, a Tara Telephone publication, also in 1971. This early work – highly influenced by his reading of Dylan Thomas and Hopkins – also appeared in the Press's journal The Lace Curtain. Smyth was born and grew up in the old Liberties heartland of the city which has influenced, and features in, much of the poetry he has written. It is the factor in his work that prompted the poet Michael Hartnett to say “Gerard Smyth is essentially a city-poet; lyrical, passionate, he may do for Dublin in verse what Joyce did for it in pro ...
