David Cavanagh’s books of poems include Falling Body (2009) and The Middleman (2003), both published by Salmon Poetry of Ireland.
His poems have appeared in leading journals in Canada, Ireland, the U.S., and the U.K., and in anthologies such as The Book of Irish American Poetry from the Eighteenth Century to the Present (U. of Notre Dame Press), and Salmon: A Journey in Poetry (Salmon).
