Trevor Joyce's collected poems, 1966-2000, were published as with the first dream of fire they hunt the cold by Shearsman, from whom a volume of workings from the Irish, Courts of Air and Earth, will appear in 2006. Also this year, The Gig will publish a collected volume covering the years 2000 to date. Joyce was born and brought up in central Dublin, where he co-founded New Writers' Press with Michael Smith in 1967. He now lives in Cork, on the south coast of Ireland, where he has been a director of SoundEye: The Cork International Poetry Festival since its beginnings in 1997, and manages the soundeye.org website. He is a Fulbright Scholar and a member of Aosdána.
