James Cummins has 146 friends on facebook. His poetry has been published in various magazines. His first chapbook "speaking off centre" (livestock edtion/dusie)was released in 2009 as part of the Dusie kollectiv and a second "warbler" (DEFAULT publishing) is being launched at the 2009 SoundEye Festival. He hung around SoundEye so long that they finally gave him a job and since 2007 he has curated a slot bringing in new writers to the festival. Along with Rachel Warriner he runs DEFAULT and despite his best efforts it has yet to fall flat on its face and has since expanded beyond just poetry into the realm of liveart. He lives more then he works in Cork.
