John W. Sexton
Ireland

John W. Sexton is a Muse Pagan and identifies with the Aisling tradition, an Irish form of vision poetry. His work spans vision poetry, contemporary fabulism, experimentalism, and tangential surrealism. He is the author of eight poetry collections, the three most recent being Futures Pass (Salmon Poetry 2018), Visions at Templeglantine (Revival Press 2020) and The Nothingness Kit (Beir Bua 2022). A chapbook of his surrealist poetry, Inverted Night, came out from SurVision in April 2019. 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. In 2007 he was awarded a Patrick and Katherine Kavanagh Fellowship in Poetry.
