>Of his most recent collection Globe:
>"Perhaps more than anything he may be seen as a 
>European poet, since his subject matter has 
>often been European experience...There is no 
>mistaking the passion with which O'Siadhail 
>writes when he takes on political events, and it 
>is this political consciousness which sets him apart."
>- Maurice Harman, The Irish Times
>
>"A gifted and confident poet intent on 
>celebration and not embarrassed about tackling 
>the old numbers - love, friendship, memory, 
>childhood, faith. O'Siadhail is deeply rooted in 
>Ireland while at home in the European and American traditions."
>- Lawrence Sail, Stand
>
>He has been a lecturer at Trinity College Dublin 
>and a professor at the Dublin Institute for 
>Advanced Studies. He is also a founder member of 
>Aosdána (Academy of distinguished Irish artists) 
>and a former editor of Poetry Ireland Review. He 
>was the founding chairman of ILE (Ireland Literature Exchange).
