Launch of Music in Stone by Maureen Perkins

Congrats to Maureen who launched her first book of poetry Music in Stone (Boland Press) on Friday 29th November 2013 at 7pm in Boston College, 42 St. Stephens Green, Dublin.

This was a very special event in the wonderful rooms of Boston College, Dublin with Maureen reading several of her  moving and inspiring poems, followed by songs by trad singer Phil Calary.

Well done, Maureen.

Carraigoona Burns by Rosy Wilson

Congrats to Rosy for another splendid publication.

Carraigoona Burns (Lapwing) is a collection of poetry that draws together a commemoration for family, friends and strangers. Her poems have an emotional quality without a sense of melancholy - just courage and honesty.

To obtain a copy of Carraigoona Burns, contact Lapwing publishers or Rosy direct on Facebook.

Here is one of her thought-provoking  poems from the publication: Litany of a Working Woman

Shed Poets Documentary

Greig Colley is a student film maker at IADT who has just completed a documentary on the Shed Poets.
His short film follows the poets as they go about their weekly poetry workshop in the Poets' Shed and is backed by wonderful visuals of Dalkey and Glencree. With an original music score, the documentary features Bernie Kenny and Judy Russell,  giving an insight into the motivation of these poets.

Details of the Tidings documentary and how to view it, will be available in the next few months. Greig is currently entering his film in some of the major film festivals in the country.

Wind Horses by Judy Russell

We are delighted to announce that Judy Russell's first poetry book Wind Horses has been published by Lapwing Publishers.

These well-crafted poems are permeated and informed with a love and knowledge of nature, and of plants, and people who inhabit the poet's landscapes. Rosy Wilson
