A Book Launch at Writers’ Week 2022
One of the problems about Writers’ Week is that there are constantly hard choices to make. In an ideal world I would have loved to go to everything but that would have required the power of bilocation. That one is not in my repertoire of super powers.
I had decided to see all the drama on offer this year. This meant that I inevitably had to forego a few events I would have loved to attend.
One such event was John McGrath’s launch of his Closing the Circle poetry anthology.
Two poets, John with Gabriel Fitzmaurice in Kerry Writers’ Museum before the launch.
Generously all the money raised by the launch was being donated to help the victims of the war in Ukraine. Noelle and Kate were on the door.

Dr Philip O Carroll in Newport Beach California.
Originally from Cahirdown. I look forward to reading your blog and have seen all the older ones. Vincent Carmody has been my eyes and ears to Listowel over the years. My brother, Dr Louis O Carroll, was a passionate Listoweler. I still listen to his music from years ago, “From River to Sea”, a collection of North Kerry songs
