News/Event: Launch of 'The Ordinary Miracle'

It is going to be a busy week. Edith Geraghty has kindly invited me to appear on her 'Weekly Edition' programme on Castlebar CRC radio this Sunday, 5-6pm to talk about my forthcoming poetry book launch and read a couple of poems. Edith works tirelessly and selflessly to promote other artists and art, as well as being involved with various community groups up in Belmullet, Co. Mayo. In addition, if that weren't enough, she is the Artisitic Director of Phoenix Theatre Works Community Theatre Group, and a poet, actress, playwright and radio presenter. She is also a lovely person.
My book 'The Ordinary Miracle' will be launched by The Heinrich Boll Association at The Cyril Gray Memorial Hall, Dugort, here on Achill Island on Wednesday evening, 27th May, at 8.30pm.I shall read from my book and signed copies will be on sale.

Published Poem

The Mayo News very kindly published my poem, 'The New Michael Davitt bridge, Achill Sound', (see post below), in this week's current edition. As he worked long and hard on behalf of the people of Achill to secure a much needed, and already much liked and appreciated, new bridge, I dedicated the poem to Councillor Micheál McNamara . We are very fortunate.

My forthcoming book of poetry will be launched this Summer at The Cyril Gray Memorial Hall, Doogort, Achill Island, by the Heinrich Boll Committee. The new bridge poem will feature along with other poems relating to Achill island. It will be titled 'The Ordinary Miracle'.
