Biografie
Michael Coady was born in 1939 in Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, where he has lived all his life and where he has worked as a teacher, musician and writer. He has won numerous prizes including the Patrick Kavanagh Award in 1979 for poems for his first collection. Bursaries from the Arts Council have enabled him to travel in the USA and Newfoundland. More recently he has held a residency in the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris. His work is noted for its celebration of place, particularly his home town and the people who live there. It has also been praised for its compassion and for its successful fusion of literary language with the reported demotic of his community.
