Ken Davis the former editor of The Meath Chronicle launched the above on Thursday the 29th of September in the Castle Arch in Trim and on a once through there's some very interesting material here. Sinéad Mac Devitt in her poem, "Colooney Street, 1904" remembers the boycott of the Jewish community in Limerick and reflects on the change of name and perhaps the irony of that, though I'll have to read up some I think. There is also a fine "Road Poem" here from P.D. Lyons, "Full Moon Not Since Ohio" and there's been one or two of them in former issues if I remember correctly. By some coincidence I was reading Brian Kirk's, "In My Day" while Sandy Dennis was playing on the radio, "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", and there's a fine poem here by a Carl Boon who lives and works in Turkey called, "Thames". Have to be added to those river poems I guess. In the prose section, "The Stolen Child" by Stephen Wade reflects on what was held in some truth by country folk not so very long ago and perhaps still is and he reminds us that "anything is possible" - in every sense. And that's just some of what's between the pages. The magazine also includes contributions from The Boyne Writers and the meticulous attention to craft and detail is there as usual. The art work on the cover is by Rory O' Sullivan. To purchase a copy link to the right: Boyne Berries.
