Kate Dempsey’s poetry is published in many journals in Ireland and the UK. Prizes include The Plough Prize, Hennessy New Irish Writing Award shortlisting. Her debut collection, The Space Between, was published by Doire Press in 2016 from which she had a poem selected as highly commended for the Forward Prize. She runs the Poetry Divas, a glittery collective of women poets who blur the wobbly boundary between page and stage.
