The Meath Writers' Circle (6) May 2011

Tommy Murray


A man who surely needs no introduction Tommy Murray is both Chairman and founder member of The Meath Writers' Circle, a writers group he set up back in the early nineties with Minister Noel Dempsey and Deirdre McGivern of The Meath VEC. A winner of numerous awards for both poetry and prose he also has a number of books on local history to his credit and one on the haunts and hauntings of the surrounding countryside that is due out sometime later this year. Much more detail over on "The Meath Books; Website" if you click on the link opposite. His book of poems "Counting Stained Glass Windows" was published by Lapwing of Belfast and he runs a children's creative writing course every Saturday morning in Navan Library.
