About the author

Raymond Hourigan has been writing poems and short stories since he was a young boy growing up in County Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. Born in 1984, he published his first poem at the age of 16 in 2000 for an anthology of poetry about the millennium, and continued to write and store works after moving to Cork to study journalism and radio broadcasting in 2008.
Since then , his poems have appeared in anthologies all over the world, since travel and work ended up taking him to Amsterdam, Paris, Glasgow, London, as well as Christchurch in New Zealand. Currently residing in Scotland, he has edited and published three poetry collections as well as expanded editions and a novella on his struggles with mental health issues. His latest anthology, "Cursed Verses: 20 Years of Pre-Apocalyptic Poetry" has just been released and he continues to work on new material, including short stories and the ever elusive novel.
