St Mary\u2019s past pupil Paul McMahon has been nominated for the 2022 Irish Poem of the Year.<\/p>\n
Paul now lives in Cork and is also a successful playwright and musician. He won the Keats-Shelley Poetry Prize in 2015. He studied Creative Writing in NUI Galway and has previously lived in Switzerland, Prague, London and Berlin.<\/p>\n
Growing up he was introduced to poetry by his father. In school he was inspired by English teacher Dermot Campfield who he fondly recalls passionately reciting Death of a Naturalist by Seamus Heaney at the top of the classroom before explaining the intricacies of the poem to the class.<\/p>\n
