At the North West College of technology, I received a city and guilds in journalism. I've been writing since I was a teenager. I mainly write poetry and short stories. I've worked at a number of jobs over the years. For the most part I’ve done clerical work and currently work for a local supermarket.

Street Incantation by
Eamonn McGinty |
On low dark terraces
The midnight violence ends.
Smokers crawl the streets,
Air incantation;
And the spell of your eyes
Aglow, aglow.
To escape this will,
Free or not.
The painted silence
And wounded bells
Ring in our ears:
" The purpose is to love."
Through you, the world
Comes coldly;
Through you, the world
Comes to life-
Caught murmuring,
Caught spelling out your love.
