for Tom Raworth
jamescummins was born in the middle-east but because of his pale colouring could never be mistaken for anything but Irish. He went to Dartington College of art in England and got a Degree in Performance writing for his trouble. In 2005 he set up DEFAULT publishing in order to promote new and exciting poetry. And despite all his best efforts it has gone from strength to strength. His own poetry has been published in a number of magazines both in Ireland and the UK. In 2007 he curated the new poets section of the soundeye international poetry festival. His latest project DEFAULT productions is on a quest to explore all things generic and will be appearing in the Dublin Fringe Festival.
