Counting Stained Glass Windows
Meath poet Tom French launched Tommy Murray's "Counting Stained Glass Windows" at Trim Library on thursday night to a large and appreciative audience with master of ceremonies Michael Regan calling for order on a number of occasions. Such as is common when poets gather.
Those in attendance included members of the Meath Writers, Boyne Writers, and Navan Writers' Group and a few pilgrims as well. Michael Sherrif Shiels treated everyone to a stirring rendition of "The Red Flag" while Sean Reilly sang of "Robbie Burns" and Willie Hodgins recited a few verses about a love lost or a lucky escape, while Marie MacSweeney recited an excert from a short story with a poem thrown in as well. Pat Duffy remembered days in Strokestown and there were calls for revolution. What more could you ask for?
"Counting Stained Glass Windows" by Lapwing Publishing. €8 Euro!
