About the Introducer

Bernard O’Donoghue (born 1945) is a distinguished Irish poet, scholar, and critic. Born in Cullen, County Cork, he moved to England in his youth and became a long-standing Fellow in English at Wadham College, Oxford.

His poetry is celebrated for its colloquial grace, blending rural Irish memory with scholarly precision. His collection Gunpowder (1995) won the Whitbread Poetry Award in 1995, and he has been shortlisted multiple times for the T.S. Eliot Prize. Beyond his own verse, O’Donoghue is a renowned medievalist and translator, notably producing a modern version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
