I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.

In 1975 I met Alison Brown and in 1982 we were married. She works for Cornell Computer Services.

In my thirties I found myself, to use a colloquial fiction, in a suburban house at the foothills of the Dublin mountains. Married and with two little daughters, I led a life which would have been recognizable to any woman who had led it and to many others who had not.

My mother was a teacher.
