Another festival that decided online was the way to go has some very interesting video of that part of Donegal with a little entertainment as well. Very well presented and enjoyable and perhaps these covid times will shape all such events in the future. Have to say I'm not familiar with that part of the country but Donegal has some history. Will watch again. "No hawk no hound"...

Close ~ Trim Poetry Festival 2020!
Michael Farry closes the Trim Poetry Festival of 2020 with readings from Kate Dempsey, Maurice Devitt and Carolyne Van Der Meer. There are other videos from the festival available on their blog site and worth a visit. The good thing about the virtual festival is that you can dip in and out whenever you can find the time so it has that advantage. Again congratulations to all!

Anne Tannam Reading ~ Trim Poetry Festival 2020!
The poet-in-residence for this year's on line festival by the Boyne Writers Group was Anne Tannam, a Dublin based poet with two collections published. Tides Shifting Across My Sitting Room Floor (Salmon Poetry - 2017) also And Take This Life (Word On The Street - 2011). Her third collection, Twenty Six Letters of a New Alphabet is forthcoming from Salmon Poetry this summer.
Dipping into the collection (not possible to listen to them all at once!) I got around to this one and it's a bit special so if you've been surfing and just happened to log onto this site, give yourself twenty minutes or so and have a listen.
Info from The Trim Poetry Blogspot page. With thanks!

LitLab ~ The Trim Poetry Festival 2020!
Lit Lab was initiated by the Cavan and Meath Arts Offices back when! I remember Tommy telling me about the group, so it would be pre 2010 at least. Anyway first chance to listen to some of the members although I have read some of their poems. The Trim Poetry Festival has left a nice collection of videos for dipping into and will probably load one or two more.
