From Cork to Donegal

                                       

I am pleased to give a reading from my debut poetry collection, The Risen Tree (Revival Press, 2024), in my local town. The Risen Tree will be launched by the poet and author, Mary Noonan.


Come and join us at 15:30 on Saturday 28th September at the newly opened Macroom Library, at the Briery Gap.

Thanks to Cork County Council Library & Arts Service for supporting this event.

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.

After spending a few days at home in Burtonport, I will be reading along with Trish Bennett Writer on the evening of Saturday 19th October at Dillon’s Hotel, Letterkenny as part of the Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter Literary Festival.
Thanks to Mary Turley-McGrath & the team for their invitation to participate at this festival.

It would be wonderful to see you at one or more of these events.
