His third book, Crash Centre, was published in May 2024 and launched at Cork International Poetry Festival. Apart from a major bursary (grant) for memoir from Ireland’s Arts Council, and a personal essay published in the anthology Others Will Enter the Gates: Immigrant Poets on Poetry, Influences, and Writing in America (Black Lawrence Press), his poems have been broadcast on WNYC’s Radioloab and anthologized on both sides of the Atlantic, most notably in Grabbed: Poets and Writers on Sexual Assault, Empowerment and Healing (Beacon Press, 2020). An essay on studying under poet Sharon Olds at New York University’s Creative Writing Program is forthcoming in This Glistening Verb (University of Michigan Press) as part of their "Under Discussion" series. He is currently writing about his grandfather, the golf architect, Eddie Hackett, widely considered "the Father of Irish Golf Design." An essay is forthcoming in Golfer’s Journal, about playing Connemara Golf Links as a complete novice, one of Hackett’s best designs. McLoghlin teaches memoir for The Center for Fiction, Hudson Valley Writers Center and The Irish Writers Centre and lives in Cork, Ireland.
