In the same year he founded the Irish Haiku Society, of which he is chairman. He is also editor of Shamrock Haiku Journal (http://www.freewebs.com/shamrockhaiku). His poems and short stories were published in magazines nationally and internationally, and have been translated into nine languages. In 2003 he was awarded the Edgeworth Prize for poetry, in 2005 shortlisted for the Robert Graves Poetry Award. He also won a few intermational awards for his haiku poems.
