The Poetry Divas
The Poetry Divas made up of Kate Dempsey, Maeve O' Sullivan and Triona Walsh were the guest readers at The Coffee Shop Knightsbridge Village in Trim last night and were taking no prisoners, male ones anyway! They opened with a poem about breasts just to bounce things off and leaving nothing to the imagination moved on to small children and recipes and bush babies and domestic bliss of one form or the other and wishful thinking! (Life Under The Lens). Ancient Irish Myths with Debusy creeping in somewhere, and a spinning bottle (Wine), arms that crush, and all in all it was a storm topped off with domestic dilemmas discussed! Michael Farry read two pieces from the Battle of the Books and Orla Fay read "Going to Portmarnock" which was published in the last issue of "Riposte". Other contributors included members of The Boyne Writers and The Cavan Lit Lab and if I could read my own writing I would give them a mention but the sun is shining and I'm heading outside. Caroline Finn's poem sounded very interesting! Anyway the "Poetry Divas", if you get the chance to hear them performing "Go See!"
