Fear Goidte
Pronounced like “Far Gotcha”. The splendid online isolation of me, James Ó Nuanáin, wherein I gather together any loose cleverness that I manage to accumulate. This site is, primarily an exegesis on how it was made. For the moment, it is mostly beak and bone with very little feather and fur.

James Ó Nuanáin’s abridged and unauthorized autobiography

Allegedly, I was born in 1977 during my mother’s notorious blue period and like so many of my kind I was forced to leave school after passing exams. I have worked in the warm arts, cold outdoor labour, and tepid indoor typing.

For reasons of authenticity I have been free-range and corn-fed Hackney raised, matured in Barnet before being polished off in pubs and cheap bars, lightly smoked, and thoroughly salted with dry roasted peanuts and margarita glasses.

I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up and can’t decide whether or not this is my coffee, it doesn’t have honey in—I definitely asked for honey.

I live in London in the U.K. which, for the time being, is a north western province of the European Union.

My website Fear Goidte is primarily about itself though, occasionally, I cover other topics. As Socrates said to Tantek Çelik at a hackathon in Antwerp: “An unexamined website is not worth the renewal of the domain name”.

I have published three small collections of poetry available at Fairtheoir Thuaidh and all undiscriminating online ebook retailers.
