Now, in Conjure, acclaimed biographer Bernard O'Donoghue presents the first comprehensive account of Donaghy's life and work. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with Donaghy's friends, family, and colleagues, O'Donoghue paints a vivid portrait of the man and his art.

We follow Donaghy from his childhood in Dublin to his early years in London, where he worked as a journalist and editor. We witness his struggles with alcoholism and depression, as well as his triumphs as a poet. And we explore the deep connections between his life and his work, as he grapples with issues of identity, sexuality, and the nature of creativity.
