The Shape of What Remains stops off at the gorgeous Salmon Bookshop in Ennistimon for another reading from Washing Windows V, the new anthology of over 300 poets —including me—yes, I also write poetry. A good time was had by all and my novel is well-traveled!

Thank you Nuala O’Connor, Alan Hayes, and Arlen House for a wonderful launch of a fifth anthology showcasing over 300 women poets. I am honored to be included and glad I could be in Galway at Charlie Byrnes Bookshop. #irishpoetry #arlenhousepublications
