Frank Farrelly was born in Ardmore, and has lived in Waterford City since 1978. He is a retired teacher of English and French, and only started writing 'seriously' in 2009. Since then, his poetry has been widely published in magazines and online. His first chapbook, Close To Home, was published with the aid of a Literature Bursary from Waterford ArtLinks in 2017. He won the inaugural Rush Poetry Prize and was runner up in The Fish Poetry Prize, The Doolin Poetry Prize, Poets Meet Politics and North West Words. He was shortlisted for The Writing Spirit Award, The Cuirt New Writing Prize and The Trim Poetry Prize. Recently he was Highly Commended in The Blue Nib Chapbook Contest 6. In 2019, he was selected for the Poetry Ireland Introductions Series. The Boiler Room is his first full collection.
The Boiler Room' brims with the perfectly distilled poems of one man's life. Shining with truth, honesty and wit, their themes are recognisable: delivering real life experience page after page. Martina Evans
'Integrity, restraint and acute attention to detail are the hallmarks of this debut collection from Frank Farrelly, a lyrical poet fully in touch with his craft. These poems will lift your heart.' Audrey Molloy
'This collection is distinctly satisfying; for the well-chosen word, the apt comparison, for how the tender and at times reluctant voice negotiates its subject matter, for how the reader finds her or himself sharing the poet's own nuanced and salutary self-reveal. It animates the vagaries of us, for us—the human in the communal. Edward Denniston
