Launch of Boyne Berries 15.

Launch of Boyne Berries 15


Michael Farry


Tomorrow night at the Castle Arch Hotel in Trim sees the launch of the latest issue of "Boyne Berries" and marks something of a transition with the stepping down of Michael Farry who has been its editor since 2007. Michael created the magazine back then and with the support and no doubt the input of other members of the group has watched it become one of the most successful literary magazines in the country. His writing has been widely published and his history publications have become source material for both television and other forms of media. A winner of numerous awards for his poetry his first collection "Asking For Directions" was published in 2012, and information on that and other books can be had by clicking on the links over to the right. No doubt moving on to other things he is handing over to Orla Fay who is another of the fine writers in the group and is sure to bring her own shapes and shades to the next and future issues. So congratulations to Michael on a job well done and to Orla on that editing desk. The start time is 8 pm and the magazine is on sale at €8 or perhaps less on the night. Can be purchased from the site and will be on sale in both Antonia's and the post office in Trim. So if you're in the south Meath area on Thursday night, sure to be a welcome!
