Downstate

Downstate, the first Irish-published poetry collection by David Gardiner, editor of the international journal, An Sionnach: A Journal of Literature, Culture, and the Arts. A writer, publisher, and professor, he divides his time between Omaha where he teaches Irish Studies at Creighton University and his duties in their Summer School Program at Trinity College Dublin. In 1995, he became founding editor of An Sionnach (Creighton University Press) and in 1996 he was made Director of Creighton University Press. "Author David Gardiner reflects wistfully on society and its reverence for its heritage; Downstate is a fine, insightful, and entertaining volume." The Midwest Book Review
