What a gorgeous afternoon we had on Sat 28th Sept in the new library in #Macroom for the #Cork county launch of my debut poetry collection, 'The Risen Tree', published by Revival Press earlier this year.
A warm thanks to Mary Noonan, poet and author. who gave such an in-depth introduction to the poems in this collection.
Thanks to Cork County Council Library & Arts Service, to Lorraine Lynch and the library staff and to Mike Ryan of the Briery Gap who in conjunction with the library provided refreshments afterwards.
To my wonderful audience a very warm thanks. I felt blessed to have my dear family, friends and neighbours with me on this special day.
Thanks to Siobhán Henley for taking most of these photos.

The Frogmore Papers published a review of The Risen Tree in Issue No. 104. Reviewed by Siobhán Mcllveen-Taylor.

Another wonderful surprise today after receiving my copy of The Frogmore Papers I was alerted to the publication of a lovely article by Sheila Fitzgerald in the Corkman and Independent newspapers on the upcoming launch in Macroom and Donegal for The Risen Tree.

In October, I am bringing The Risen Tree to my home county of Donegal and look forward to reading a selection of poems from this debut collection at the Frances Browne Literary Festival

I am delighted that Annemarie Ní Churreáin will launch The Risen Tree in Kee's Hotel, Stranorlar, at 18:30 on Friday 11th October.

Thanks to the team at The Frances Browne Festival and to Poetry Ireland for their support of this event.
