Geoffrey Squires (born 16 November 1942,[1] in Derry, Northern Ireland) is an Irish poet who works in what might loosely be termed the modernist tradition.
While born in Derry, he grew up in County Donegal, Republic of Ireland.
He read English at Cambridge, and gained a PhD in multi-media instructional systems in adult education from the University of Edinburgh in 1970.
[1] American poet and critic Robert Archambeau has described his work as 'a poetry of immediate consciousness'.
His more recent writings show the effect of the study of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theory of perception.
