My poem, ‘A Dream of One More Outing’, dedicated to my wonderful mother-in-law, Moira, starts at 9.45 approx. I’ve tried to capture what a trailblazer she was. I’m thrilled that Zöe and Edel ‘got’ what I was trying to say. Thanks for selecting my piece.

Put on the kettle as there’s a lot in there from growing up on the border during the Troubles to admitting being awestruck over a fellow Leitrimer. Thanks to all who’ve supported me over the years, and to Jillian and Pete for letting me at it.

Dundalk Poetry Festival with John Noonan brought together poets, writers, musicians and readers for a memorable celebration of literature and creativity.
‘Stench’ is the debut collection from Fermanagh based Poet Trish Bennett. Very much rooted in the border hinterlands, these poems are full of humour, vigour and poignancy.
