Billy Mills (Dublin, 1954) is an Irish poet who lives with his family near Limerick. He spent three years teaching in Barcelona in the 1980s, followed by another teaching stint in Eastbourne, in the south of England, but settled again in Ireland in the early 1990s. He has edited the occasional magazine The Journal and the small press hardPressed Poetry, both of which he founded with his wife, poet Catherine Walsh, and has published several small-press collections. This major retrospective gives the reader a first chance to see all of his work gathered in on place, together with some new work.
In addition to metapoetic explorations... Mills covers some very traditional poetic ground indeed - the quiet work of nature..., domestic love..., urban alienation..., and even, in a roundabout and refreshingly unbardic way, Irish sectarian politics. - Robert Archambeau
Mills is one of the not-many poets who stick with and work at 'experimental' poetry..., which sometimes seems like a scalpel or rifleshot beside the bread-knives and blunderbusses of today. -Books Ireland
Billy Mills's inventive and wry reflections on the complex relationship between language and the world will stimulate those who have grown weary of the continued dominance of the unitary lyric 'I' voice in Irish poetry. -Donal Moriarty
