Mountains to Sea Festival

I’m looking forward to the Mountains to Sea Festival. I’ll be mainly on baby-minding duty as Rozz is going to a workshop with Colm Keegan but will be attending one event myself: the Shine/Strong Award. The three books nominated for the award are In a Hare’s Eye by Breda Wall Ryan, The Riddle of Waterfalls by Madelaine Nerson Mac Namara, and Little Witness by Connie Roberts. It’s great to see all three poets there but I’m glad to see a fellow Doire Press poet in the list. Furthermore, as it’s International Women’s Day, it’s also good to see the world of Irish Poetry is being so well represented by female poets.
