Invisible Insane

Afric McGlinchey is an Irish-born, multi-award-winning poet based in West Cork. Raised in several countries in Africa, she has a close affinity with that continent. Afric is a post-graduate of English Literature and film (University of Cape Town), and studied journalism at Rhodes University. Previous collections include "The Lucky Star of Hidden Things" and "Ghost of the Fisher Cat" (Salmon Poetry). Her début was further translated into Italian and published by L'Arcolaio. A consulting editor with The Inkwell Group and a creative writing facilitator, she also reviews for a number of journals. According to Vona Groarke, she "...moves really beautifully between strangeness and familiarity. What's also particularly striking is the tone and register of the language and how the flow carries you along with it."
