With thanks to Michael Farry for editing on the above. The Trim Poetry Festival which was postponed last March due to the corona virus was held over the weekend as an online event and if you click on the link to the right there is a whole library collection of poems for your entertainment. Every cloud has a silver lining and the video presentations here means that you can browse through at your leisure. Congratulations to all concerned. Will hit the share button more than a few times I think. The event saw the launch of 'Boyne Berries 27' by Orla Fay and Michael Farry's new poetry collection 'Troubles' by Anne Tannam.
