John William Sexton (born 1958) is an Irish poet, short-story writer, radio script-writer and children’s novelist. After moving to Ireland in his early twenties, Sexton’s first fiction and poetry appeared in the New Irish Writing supplement of the daily Irish newspaper The Irish Press, edited by David Marcus. Under Marcus’ mentorship he began writing book reviews for that newspaper, contributing reviews of poetry, folklore, and comparative religion during the early to mid 1980’s. Sexton’s poetry has appeared in many leading Irish journals including The Stinging Fly, Poetry Ireland Review, THE SHOp, Southword, The Stony Thursday Book and The Penny Dreadful Magazine.
