Born in Dublin in
1939, Neville Keery’s vocation as a poet was first expressed in verses
emerging during a visit to Venice in 1993. Turnings, a first
selection of his poems, was published in 1999. After a career
spent largely in Brussels, he returned to Dublin as a writer in
2001. One of his poems won the 2003 Francis Ledwidge Award and he
was selected to read work in the 2005 Poetry Ireland Introductions
Series. His keen visual appreciation and good humour are never
far away and he is currently interested in the haiku form and in the
relationships between poetry and film images.
Neville Keery's latest
collection that includes haiku, HOME
(poems 1999-2006), was published in 2007 by Hinds Publishing and The Blackrock Society.
