Meaning to get back to this for a week now but other things piling up and you know yourself, but read through it once and then read through it again. Many interesting pieces inside and some of the best writers around but what really took my fancy or interest was a poem by Alan McMonagle from Galway called "Moonlit Robbery" and I notice from~Notes on Contributors~that his first collection of stories was titled "Liar Liar" which brings me to the short story "Liar Liar" by Teresa Sweeney and this comes with it's very own "Carrie" moment. Read it and see. Some kind of coincidence running here, meaningful or other. Teresa is also from Galway. Tom French of the Meath County Library leads off with a wonderful tribute poem to the late Tommy Murray and Orla Fay has a short story in this time on the big freeze which is more than just the cold these days. Of "Gothic" interest to those who are so inclined is the latest contribution from Rory Ó Sullivan "Before the Bell Tolled One" and is his latest poem in a series of those published in Boyne Berries. Well worth getting your hands on a copy of this and if you click on a link over to the right for Michael Farry or Boyne Writers details on how to purchase will be found! Failing that drop in to Antonia's Bookshop in Trim.
