If you should find yourself with an hour or two to spare next Thursday night then The Castle Arch in Trim might be just the place to be for the launch of the above. Now in its twelfth issue, if that's the correct term, Boyne Berries is always interesting in that it includes writers that are from both local and abroad. Launched on this ocassion by Professor Gregory Castle of The Department of English at Arizona State University, the get there time is 8pm. Professor Castle has a number of books to his credit and has had poems published in past issues of the magazine. Much more details or info can be found if you click on the link to Michael Farry's site over right! The price of the magazine is €8 Euro and very reasonable at that and can be ordered from the site. Arizona though was always cowboy country and had "Rangers" and things like that. Dan Fogelberg who died a few years back penned this and worth checking out on youtube... poetry is poetry..

Tuscon Arizona
Tuscon Arizona
Rising in the heat like a mirage
Tony keeps his Chevy
Like a virgin locked in his garage
Brings it out at midnight
And cruises down the empty boulevards
And he prowls the darkened alleys
That snake between the city's thirsty yards.
The lonely desert skies reflect the anger
In his eyes
And it is dawn.....
Dan Fogelberg.
Hope I rememberd those lines, check the rest out on youtube!
