Tralee poet Noel King is nominated for a national poetry award and needs public support to help take home the title. Tralee native and poet, Noel King, is one of four nominees for Irish Poem of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards to be awarded at the National Convention Centre on November 23. Noel, who spoke to The Kerryman this week and who said that he was pleasantly surprised to hear he had been nominated, is in the running for his poem ‘Glissando’ which you can read below. It says what it says and it’s short and simple and I think it’s understandable too,” Noel continued. Noel was born in and still lives in Tralee and his works include poetry, haiku and short stories published in over a thousand publications in thirty eight countries.
