Earlier this year I heard that my poem 'Riverdance' was going to be included in the 'Places of Poetry: Mapping the Nation in Verse' anthology. The poem, about the River Lagan won first prize in the Lagan Navigation Trust's first ever Storymaking Festival a couple of years ago http://www.lagannavigationtrust.org/1st-annual-story-making-festival-2018/
This new anthology which is launched on 1st October features poems about places throughout the United Kingdom, and I'm delighted that my poem will be one representing Northern Ireland. https://www.placesofpoetry.org.uk/About/
Last weekend I had fun recording a poetry reading on the banks of the Lagan as part of the promotional work for the forthcoming launch. Watch this space for more news!
