The award-winning Dublin poet and novelist Christopher Nolan, also known as Christy Nolan, died on February 20 aged 43.

At the age of 15, he published his first book entitled Dam burst of Dreams, a critically acclaimed collection of poetry constantly compared with those of his eminent compatriots William Butler Yeats and James Joyce. At the age of 22, his first autobiographical novel entitled Under the Eye of the Clock won the 1988 Whitbread Book Award; in it, he describes his struggle with his disability and how the people around him, especially his family, help him to overcome the barriers set for the disabled, and get education and fulfill his seemingly impossible dream – a highly-acclaimed poet and novelist. Not only does the novel introduce the reader to the experience and social meaning of disability, but it also is the story of a “crippled boy” struggling to become a “fully-developed man,” an individual without restraints who makes the impossible dream realized.

For further information on his life and work, please read my piece entitled Under the Eye of the Clock: The Sparkling Soul of a Writer.
