His books include the monograph Escribir na multitude: a obra literaria de Antón Avilés de Taramancos (2014), the biographies Antón Avilés de Taramancos (2003) and Biografía sonora de Avilés de Taramancos (2009, with Ana Romaní and Rodrigo Romaní), an annotated edition of the poetry collection Cantos caucanos (2003) and the edited volumes Raiceiras e vento.

Also in 2020, he published the bilingual Galician-English anthology Alfaias na lama: Poesía selecta 1990-2020 / Jewels in the Mud: Selected Poems 1990-2020, selected and introduced by Xosé María Álvarez Cáccamo and translated into English by Keith Payne.

His most recent published translations ENG-GAL are Ferrovías (2020) [Railtracks] by John Berger and Anne Michaels, with photographs by Tereza Stehlíková; A nai sombra (2021) [The Shadow Mother] by Seán Virgo, illustrated by Javier Serrano Pérez; and Catro cuartetos (2023) [Four Quartets] by T.

In 2017, Veiga received the Premio Pedrón de Honra for his trajectory in the international promotion of Galician culture.



































Research Interests

I am an internationally recognised researcher and creative practitioner whose work lies in the intersection between critical analysis of literary texts, creative writing and translation theory and practice. These three main areas of inquiry develop in dialogue with each other and form a cohesive, innovative and over-arching research plan with creative practices embedded at its heart.

My main research areas, closely connected to my work as a poet and literary translator, are contemporary poetry, translation studies, ecocriticism, and travel writing and mobility narratives in the Iberian context, with particular focus on Galician studies. My record of research and scholarly outputs demonstrates my critical engagement with these areas, resulting in creative professional activity that has achieved international recognition.

As part of my long-standing research collaborations with colleagues at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, I was a member of the research projects 'Eco-fictions: Emergent Discourses on Woman and Nature in Galicia and Ireland' (2016-18) and 'The Animal Trope: An Ecofeminist Analysis of Contemporary Culture in Galicia and Ireland'  (2019-22), and I am currently a member of the project 'Posthuman Intersections in Irish and Galician Literatures' (2023-26). Further information on these projects is available here: https://irgal.es/. Together with the PI Dr Armelle Blin-Rolland (Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University, Wales) and Dr Margaret C. Flinn (The Ohio State University), I am a member of the research project 'Greening Modern Languages: Research and Teaching' (2023-), which aims to think about the role that our discipline has to play in times of ecological crises. More information is available here: https://www.ecomodlang.com

My publication record includes books, edited volumes, journal articles, book chapters, as well as six award-winning poetry collections and many poems in journals and anthologies in Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Ireland and the UK. More recent publications have concentrated on literary translation, investigating the links between research and translation as creative practice through the translation of work by authors such as John Berger, T. S. Eliot and Anne Michaels.

I am the Director of the Irish Centre for Galician Studies (ICGS) at University College Cork, a research environment that generates, promotes and fosters high quality research. We aim to continue enhancing the expansion of postgraduate research in the area of Galician Studies and to consolidate the ICGS as a platform for national and international collaboration projects.
