As A member of Women Aloud NI
I was delighted to be selected to read at
Culture Day 2019 in The Belfast Central Library.
I was honoured to take part in #poetryDayIR @LabeLLit organised For Poetry Day IRL 2018, Belfast-based poet Maria McManus has recruited more than 60 poets to join her in sharing luggage labels (20 each) with a micro-poem of their own – a micro-literature response to the world, across the world. There are poets in Australia, USA, Spain, Portugal, England, Wales, and all over Ireland, north and south.

We had a great time in Omagh last night for the inaugural The Omagh Literary Festival: Honouring Benedict Kiely Poetry Slam! Very much uncharted territory for us, so we were delighted and impressed by the quality of poetry on display.
Congratulations go to Nathan Elout-Armstrong, our slam winner, whose poem on why you should never date a poet just pipped an excellent showing from runner-up John Harding and fellow finalists Paddy Montague and Sarah Grimes.
A big thank you to Strule Arts Centre, Omagh for providing an excellent venue for us, and to the board of the festival for inviting us to host the slam, especially Gerard McCabe who assisted us with judging. Special thanks also to Omagh poet Aine MacAodha who was our guest reader and fellow judge, who gave an excellent reading of her work to an appreciate hometown crowd.
