I was delighted to be invited to read some poems at next week’s Over The Edge readings in Galway City Library by Kevin Higgins and Susan Millar DuMars. It’s a special showcase for Skylight 47 which has grown in stature very quickly since coming on the scene last year. The current issue, Issue 5, is a belter and I’m currently reading and re-reading it. Some great poetry but also an interview with Louis De Paor and a review of Alan Jude Moore’s Zinger by Alan McMonagle, and a poetry workshop with Helen Mort and art work also. Great to see fellow Hibernian poets Amanda Bell, John Saunders and Maurice Devitt in there with me. Also poems by Kate Dempsey, Breda Spaight, Alan Weadick, Ruth Quinlan and much, much more. You should get your hands on a copy fast. And if you’re near Galway next Thursday please come along!
