Peter first started to have poems published in his school newspaper where he became resident poet. He has now written eleven books of poetry since 1990 and has spent much of his spare time travelling all over Ireland to sell them. Peter has frequently appeared and recited his works on RTE Radio Shows with Gay Byrne, Joe Duffy, Alan Short, Steve Bolger and Donna O’Sullivan, and was also filmed for the television series Summer Journeys produced by Phillip Kampff. He is often heard on his local Radio Kerry, and during his travels he has been on air on countless other radio stations up and down the country. He has also held many poetry readings and sessions throughout Ireland including his one man show at the Siamsa Tíre National Folk Theatre and a two year residency at the Pádraig O’Keeffe Traditional Irish Music Festival where he created the now regular Poetry Extravaganza.
