In the very early days, Pat travelled across Ireland delivering books to shops. By the late 1990s, he was only selling them on the streets of Dublin. In 2015, he retired from selling books on the streets altogether. Today all of his books - save those that are out of print - can be found in two shops in Dublin (see below).
His selected poems IN DUBLIN THEY REALLY TELL YOU THINGS (2022) was published by MoLI and can only be found in their shop.
All three shops deliver worldwide.
WHERE TO FIND PAT'S BOOKS :
The Winding Stair Bookshop, in Dublin centre
