I am delighted that my poem ‘Itch’ is included in this new anthology of 250 Irish writers to celebrate 250 years of Dublin bookshop Hodges Figgis. I was honoured to read as part of the launch of the anthology at The John Hewitt Hillsborough Literary Festival last Sunday, with Ruth Carr, Medbh McGuckian, Deirdre Brennan and Kate Newmann. Thanks to Alan Hayes, editor.
