John W. Sexton was born in 1958 and lives in the Republic of Ireland. He is the author of six poetry collections, the most recent of which is Futures Pass (Salmon Poetry 2018). Two novels for children, The Johnny Coffin Diaries and Johnny Coffin School-Dazed, are published by the O’Brien Press and have been translated into Italian and Serbian. Under the ironic pseudonym of Sex W. Johnston he has recorded an album with legendary Stranglers frontman, Hugh Cornwell, entitled Sons of Shiva, which has been released on Track Records. He has read at festivals in Ireland and abroad including The Shanghai Literary Festival; the ACIS Conference in Davenport, Iowa; The International Haiku Poetry Conference & Festival, SUNY Plattsburg; Mlade Rime Poetry Festival, Slovenia and The Cork International Poetry Festival. In 2007 he was awarded a Patrick and Katherine Kavanagh Fellowship in Poetry.
