About the author

Traci O’Dea is an American poet living in Jersey, UK where she is currently composing a novel in verse and a collection of verse monologues. Her poetry has appeared in the following places: BBC Radio Jersey, Poetry, cellpoems, Literary Matters, The Hopkins Review, The Jersey Evening Post, Jersey Arts Centre, Jersey Library, Goethe Institut, and elsewhere. O'Dea is a poetry editor for the literary journals Smartish Pace and MOKO: Caribbean Arts & Letters, and in 2021 Scotland Street Press published her recent collection, Restricted Movement, for which she received a Seed Funding Grant from Arthouse Jersey.
Self-taught, visionary artist Tommy O’Dea uses art as part of his recovery from addiction. Because of this, he refers to himself as a “glue artist,” layering glues and epoxies, creating richly textured surfaces. These are often augmented with acrylic paint, sea glass and glitter.
