Gareth Maguire is poet/screen writer/artist/actor born and raised in Northern Ireland. Since leaving home he has lived in England, France, New York, Los Angeles before finally settling in Austin, Texas. His travels have given him a perspective rendered in contradictions - colorful yet blacker than black, unique yet familiar, a unification of the obscure and the obvious. 'Professor of Nothing. Student of Dreams.' is his first published poetry collection.
