Harry Clifton is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on August 15, 1952 in Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. He has lived in places throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. He lectured at a teacher training college in Nigeria in the early 1970s. He worked as an aid administrator in Thailand for Indo-Chinese refugees in the 1980s. He lived in Italy’s Abruzzi Mountains, Switzerland, England and Germany before settling in Paris for ten years.
He wrote On the Spine of Italy: A Year in the Abruzzi (Macmillan, 1999), a prose work based on the year he spent in Italy. He recorded his life in Paris in Secular Eden: Paris Notebooks 1994–2004 (Wake Forest University Press, 2007).
Colm Tóibín, also writing in The Irish Times, wrote of The Winter Sleep of Captain Lemass (2012): ‘There are moments when you hold your breath… and you sit up in pure delight… there are a number of poems in this book that will be read as long as any poems are read anywhere… The last poem, “Oweniny, Upper Reaches”, filled with soft, haunting cadences and strange, ambiguous musings on solitude, memory and the meaning of things, is a masterpiece.’
His poems have been translated into several European languages, with a French translation of selected poems, Le Canto d’Ulysse, published in 1996. He also published a book of stories, Berkeley’s Telephone & Other Fictions (Lilliput Press, 2000).

In his Foreword to Harry Clifton’s first volume of selected poems, The Desert Route (1992), Derek Mahon wrote: ‘The poet has taken the world as his province… Quietly, without self-assertion, he [Clifton] has set himself to work in the highest registers. There must be three things in combination, I would suggest, before the poetry can happen: soul, song and formal necessity. Clifton has all three; he has chosen well from his four volumes; and this Selected Poems will place him among the poets who matter’.
Reviewing Secular Eden (2007) in The Irish Times, Fintan O’Toole wrote of Clifton’s work: ‘His is a universe of aftermaths, hauntings and returns, in which even God…dreams of becoming flesh again’, asserting that his book ‘captures an Irish voice that is utterly contemporary in its restless movement through time and space’.
