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.
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!
