JOSIE GRAY was born on the shores of Lough Arrow and has lived in counties Waterford, Wexford and Sligo. He has worked as a fruit salesman, barman, farmer and rate collector, and in various family businesses, hauling turf, fruit, sand and gravel. He started painting in the mid-1990s and has exhibited in Ireland and the US. In his retirement he fishes, gardens, paints and tells the odd story. TESS GALLAGHER, poet, essayist, short-story and screen writer, was born in Washington State. She has published many distinguished collections of poetry, including Dear Ghosts in 2007 and Midnight Lantern, which will be released on October 1, 2011. She was encouraged by her late husband, Raymond Carver, to write short stories, which were published in The Lover of Horses (1986) and At the Owl Woman Saloon (1996), and a new volume of selected stories entitled The Man from Kinvara.
