Boyne Berries 10 Cover
I attended the launch of Boyne Berries issue 10 last night at the Castle Arch Hotel in Trim. Issue 10 is a milestone and the editorial team produced a high quality colour magazine to mark the occasion. Peter Fallon of Gallery Press spoke eloquently about the importance of readers to authors, and the role of the publisher and the editor in ensuring that authors always have readers, drawing on his own personal experiences in both capacities.
Michael Farry, as editor, and the whole team at Boyne Berries should be proud of the work they continue to do. The highlights for me last night were Evan Costigan’s Leaving Nagasaki, Carolyne Van Der Meer’s In Central Station, James Lawless’ The Tramp In The Lady, Michael Farry’s The Hawk’s Rock and Peter Goulding’s For Pablo Casals, but there are many more treasures between the covers. At the end of the evening Peter Fallon read his poem The Fields of Meath, the opening poem of issue 10: a geographical, temporal and metaphysical journey around the county sometimes driven, sometimes cajoled along by a sly rhyme that is delicious to the ear.
You can get a copy of Boyne Berries 10 here. And you really ought to, you know!
Thank you, Brian! Wonderful to be there. You are an amazing group of people!
Hi Carolyne – all thanks go to Michael and the team at BB!
Thanks for attending and congratulations on your contribution.
Thank you Michael – it was my pleasure, and it’s a wonderful publication
Great to meet you last night Brian and agree that the magazine is quite beautiful.

May not make it to Limerick for ST launch, but looking forward to seeing the book all the same. Hope to see you soon.
