UCD Irish Poetry Archive

On Monday 10th April I took a train from Cork to Dublin to read eight of my poems as part of the UCD Library #Irish #Poetry#Archive. Recording my poems brought my own mortality to the fore. This was not in a morbid way but as a keen awareness of, as my dad often said, 'we are just passing through'.

Thanks to Ursula Byrne and her team at UCD Library.
Thanks also to Maurice at Books Upstairs for introducing me to this wonderful archive.
