Ennis, John (1944- ), poet. Born in Coralstown, Co. Westmeath, he was educated at UCC, UCD, and Maynooth before teaching in Waterford Institute of Technology. His first collection, Night on Hibernia (1976), revealed narrative speed and intellectual concentration. His interests and range seek expression in longer poems such as ‘Orpheus’ in Dolmen Hill (1977) or Arboretum (1990), which describes his marriage of idealism and reality. Other collections include In a Green Shade (1991), Down in the Deeper Helicon (1995) and Telling the Bees (1995).
