Mayday Hotting Up! and good news from Donegal..

Well the Mayday event in Boyle is hotting up, it will in fact be jammers, so get there in good time for a seat!
We are eight writers, four painters, and a top notch band! Liftoff at 5.30pm, Boyle library...
Other good news; I got my copy of the great journal Ropes, which is as always an excellent read. My poem Octopus Still Expanding, Fleeing Villagers Warn is in it too..
And the great news that from today - for 2 months only!- my poem Hellsteeth will be on display in towns throughout Donegal, as part of the Poetry For Spaces run by North West Words. Brilliant!

It's in that hotbed of radicalism Boyle Library, Co Roscommon, from 5.30 til 8pm on Thursday 1 st May.

Basically a pop-up show of art - from David Gearty, Gavin Porter, Jenny Cooper ;  
words - from myself, Helen Grehan, Pete Worth, and several members of The Wrong Side of the Tracks Writers and Millwheel Writers; 
and in between music from cool trad heads Jimmy Noctor, Gregory Daly, and more.
