Spotlight On Writers
Benedict Hurley

- Where, do you hail from?
- What is the greatest thing about the place you call home?
Cóbh is full of history and beauty. It’s easy to find inspiration living in a place like this, I am so lucky to call it home. As a coastal town the area is full of colour and beauty, with the return of liners into the port, it has made the town more lively. It’s definitely a place worth visiting!
- What turns you on creatively?
Life. Also I find being surrounded by good people gets me in a creative mood. I write songs as well as poetry, when I am with good friends or family, the words flow easier. Memories are great also, laughter.
- What is your favorite word, and can you use it in a poetic sentence?
Inspiration is my favourite word. I find inspiration in most things. Even when I write a sad poem or song, I find inspiration in my everyday.
Inspiration finds me and brings me joy, inspiration in my children’s smile, I find it in the sun and find it in the stars, inspiration fills my heart and soul.
- What is your pet peeve?
Lack of communication. Overuse of mobile phones. Even though I am writing this on a mobile phone, too many people are living their lives through a screen, rarely looking up to see the beautiful world around them.
- What defines Benedict Hurley?
I’m a searcher. I’m always looking for my next line or my next chord, I also love being able to help or co-operate with like minded people. My words are what really defines me, if you want to know me, then read what I have written.
