Adam Wyeth lives in Dublin. His critically acclaimed collection, Silent Music, was Highly Commended by the Forward Poetry Prize. His poetry has won and been commended in many international competitions, and his work appears in several anthologies, including The Forward Prize Anthology (2012 Faber) and The Arvon 25th Anniversary Anthology. "Like a child's magnifying glass, the eyes of Dublin poet Adam Wyeth brim the world over with rich detail in this glib, adventurous collection of poems. The wide-roaming scenes that the reader rushes through in The Art of Dying find humor in surprising places and profundity in the simplest, imbuing the natural, the exotic, and the domestic with equal measures of myth."--WLT
