While there he was introduced to James Joyce by Thomas MacGreevy.
His first short story, "Assumption", was published the same year in Jolas' periodical transition, and in 1930 he won a small literary prize with his hastily-composed poem "Whoroscope", which draws from a biography of René Descartes that Beckett happened to be reading when he was encouraged to submit.

In the early seventies, Michael Smith judged Coffey to be "as distinguished a poet as any writing in the English language today".
Coffey never found great favor among the Irish literary homeboys, nor did he ever have the luck to be discovered by influential foreign sponsors as Devlin had been taken up by Allen Tate and Robert Penn Warren, and MacGreevy by Wallace Stevens.
To many, the most salient thing about him has been his representative status - a figure associated with the thirties avant-garde movement, a grouchy character on the margins of modern Irish poetry.

The Revival was a modernist-inspired reaction to the Movement's more conservative approach to British poetry.
If the Movement poets looked to Thomas Hardy as a poetic model, the poets associated with the British Poetry Revival were more likely to look to modernist models, including the British poets David Jones, Basil Bunting and Hugh MacDiarmid.
Although these poets had effectively been written out of official histories of 20th century British poetry, by the beginning of the 1960s a number of younger poets were starting to explore poetic possibilities that the older writers had opened up.
