Michael Coady (1939 – 25 March 2024) was an Irish poet, writer, historian, photographer, genealogist, and journalist.
Bursaries from the Arts Council enabled him to travel in the U.S. and Newfoundland and he held a residency in the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris.
It has also been praised for its compassion and its successful fusion of literary language with the reported demotic of his community.
Coady wrote about the small, intimate, urban community (surrounded by rural countryside) to which he belonged.
