Poetry Reading/Verona Pentony!

Verona Pentony

Verona, whose poem, "The Farmer" came second in last year's competition at the National Ploughing Championship has been invited by Maura Allen, ICA Offaly President to recite some of her favourite poems  including, "The Farmer" and "A Single Black Cross" which was written in memory of Michael Mallin (1916) and was published in a recent anthology by The Meath Writers' Circle, "Centenary in Poetry and Prose", on Stand 278 from 12.30 pm -1 pm on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of September.

Anna May McHugh, National Ploughing Championship, was delighted with Verona's news and remembered with gratitude the support received from Bishop Denis Nulty, Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin who spearheaded the Poetry competition last year. She recommended Verona should include, "Leaving Boleybreen 1940"  which reflects on, or highlights the plight of those who swapped their holdings in the west of Ireland for Land Commission farms in Meath, also her poem, "Oh Mother Dear" due to current concerns of suicide in rural areas and how important a role we all have to promote awareness. Verona has published a number of books and has participated in many literary festivals throughout Ireland.
