I absolutely adore Simon Cutts' work too, & the wonderful books he publishes with Erica Van Horn. I know he lives in Ireland & Coracle is based there but wouldn't have seen him as an Irish poet; I thought he was English. In what sense do you see him in an Irish poetic tradition? And back to my earlier question: how do Irish poets go about being included in Archive of the Now?
