I was delighted to have a poem published in the first issue, one on the Destruction of Sligo Railway Station 1923. I was in good company with the likes of Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, Dermot Healy, Joan McBreen, Carlo Gebler, Dermot Bolger, Brian Leyden, and Jaki McCarrick

I'm guessing Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, Dermot Healy, Joan McBreen, Carlo Gebler and Dermot Bolger were paid...

ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Michael. I sent work in by the deadline last year but was told the issue was already full. Get work in early, I reckon! (Full of famous people, perhaps...)
