Biography

Young worked in London as an epidemiologist and adviser to health authorities, and now lives in France. Over the years he has published many scientific papers and numerous pieces of medical journalism.

He is the author of eight books of poetry, most recently "Lightning in Low Places" (Cranagh Press, University of Ulster 2000), and "Days and Nights in Hendon" (Menard Press, 2002). The autofiction "Light Years" (London Magazine Editions/ Menard Press 2002) was his first full length work in prose.

Numerous stories and poems have appeared over the years in anthologies and periodicals in Ireland, America and the United Kingdom (Cyphers, Sniper Logic, Books Ireland, London Magazine, Hopscotch, Modern Poetry in Translation, Leviathan Quarterly, Arete, etc). He is currently featured extensively in the International journal Ars Interpres.

His second work of autofiction "Storytime" appeared in 2005 (Elliot & Thompson). This is a satirical account of Young's visit to Ireland to launch his book "Light Years". Acutely reflective about a culture in transition and the possibilities of survival, the story is ultimately about two deaths, that of a culture and his own.

Forthcoming publications in 2007 include collections of poems from Shearsman Books and Shoestring Press. He has recently completed a further prose work, "Chronicling Myself", and a new collection of poems, "Strimmings".
