John W. Sexton was born in 1958 and is the author of five previous poetry collections: The Prince's Brief Career, Foreword by Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, (Cairn Mountain Press, 1995), Shadows Bloom / Scathanna Faoi Bhlath, a book of haiku with translations into Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock (Doghouse, 2004), Vortex (Doghouse, 2005), Petit Mal (Revival Press 2009), and The Offspring of the Moon (Salmon Poetry 2013).

His novels based on this series, The Johnny Coffin Diaries and Johnny Coffin School-Dazed are both published by The O'Brien Press and have been translated into Italian and Serbian. Under the ironic pseudonym of Sex W. Johnston he has recorded an album with legendary Stranglers frontman, Hugh Cornwell, entitled Sons of Shiva, which has been released on Track Records. He is a past nominee for The Hennessy Literary Award and his poem "The Green Owl" won the Listowel Poetry Prize 2007. In 2007 he was awarded a Patrick and Katherine Kavanagh Fellowship in Poetry. He is also the changeling-other of the blog-poet Jack Brae Curtingstall.
