Boyne Readings/Kate Dempsey.


Boyne Readings/Kate Dempsey.


Kate Dempsey of Maynooth and formerly of Coventry was the guest reader at the Open Mic session at The Knightsbridge Village last night. Widely published and winner of more than a few awards she entertained with poems that touched mostly on the personal with everything from getting engaged to the art of seduction to getting lost. Almost the same thing! There were others too about conkers and a box of love, if my memory serves me well. Which it doesn't sometimes. Monaghan mosquitoes and sherry trifle might be pushing the boat out a bit, but I'll give it a try! Kate Dempsey blogs at "Emerging Writer" so check it out. More details at both Michael Farry's and Orla Fay's blogsites.

What a great photo.
Thanks to everyone from the Meath and Boyne groups. You were all very welcoming and discerning! I enjoyed the diverse open mic too. Keep up the good work.
