Synopsis

Leanne O'Sullivan was born in 1983, and comes from the Beara peninsula in West Cork. She received an MA in English from University College, Cork in 2006. The winner while still in her teens of several of Ireland's poetry competitions, including the Seacat, Davoren Hanna and RTE Rattlebag Poetry Slam, she has since published three collections with Bloodaxe: Waiting for My Clothes (2004), Cailleach: The Hag of Beara (2009) and >The Mining Road (2013).

Waiting for My Clothes, her first collection, traces a deeply personal journey, from the traumas of eating disorder and low self-esteem to the saving powers of love and positive awareness. Leanne O'Sullivan has been writing poetry since she was 12, and began these poems not thinking they would ever form part of a book, but writing down the reasons I should live for and then becoming addicted to looking at things to find the beauty in them .
