Next Thursday 28th May is North West Words Arts Night in Cafe Blend, Letterkenny at 8pm. The guest writers this month are poet Mairéad Donnellan, and memoir writer Ann Garrat. I'm looking forward to it.
Mairéad Donnellan lives is Bailieborough Co. Cavan. Her poetry has appeared in Boyne Berries, The Moth, Windows Anthology, Crannóg, Revival, The Galway Review, Skylight 47 and The Stony Thursday Book.
In 2013 she was shortlisted for the Doire Press poetry chapbook
competition and was winner of the Francis Ledwidge poetry award. She was
shortlisted for the Cúirt new writing prize in 2014 and recently for
the Donegal Creameries North West Words poetry prize. Read some of her poems here
Ann Garrat‘s memoir The Road Taken recalls
her happy life as a child in Falcarragh in north Donegal and the shock
of being transplanted into war-scarred, inner-city Coventry.
See NWW website for details of this and other events. Issue 3 of NWW magazine is also now available online and it's filled with poetry, short story, interview and memoir.
