Maggs' recent work has appeared in Poetry Ireland Review (2006) and The March Hare Anthology (Breakwater, 2007). His latest collection of poems, entitled Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems, was published by Brick Books and launched in early 2008 at the Hockey Hall of Fame. He has co-edited two anthologies of Irish and Newfoundland & Labrador poetry: However Blow the Winds (WIT & Scop, 2004) and The Echoing Years, published in 2007.
Maggs' close connection with Ireland was recognized in the Spring of 2007 when he was awarded a Coracle Fellowship to work in that country. An accomplished woodworker, he took part in the 2001 Ireland/Newfoundland exhibition, Wood: A Sculptual Investigation. One of his major pieces is the Black Rod used in Canadian Senate ceremonies. [1]
