‘ I don’t think of my writing as a “career” but as something I do, and have always wanted to do – write poems and write about poetry – since I was a kid in my teens in North Belfast in the sixties. The Troubles short-circuited that desire and led to years of anxious confusion about how fair it was to think more about poetry than about the causes and grievances of political failure in the divided society I grew up in. The shock of what happened stayed with me and the generation to which I belonged for good.’
- Gerald Dawe (2009)
