Randolph Healy

Randolph Healy (born 1956) is an Irish poet and publisher.

Healy was born in Scotland and moved to Dublin at the age of 18 months.[1] After leaving school at the age of 14 to work in a number of jobs, he returned to full-time education and graduated in Mathematical Sciences from Trinity College, Dublin. He now works as a teacher of mathematics at the second level. His poetry is marked by the frequent use of structural devices derived from logic and scientific diction.[clarification needed]

He has written work on the issues of the politics of language. He takes sign language and deafness as his points of departure in addressing it.[2]

His books include 25 Poems (1983), Rana Rana! (1997), Arbor Vitae (1997), Flame (1998) and Selected Poems (2000). He runs the publishing house, Wild Honey Press.
