Eeeeek yes it did!
I am thrilled to announce that I've won the Brian Dempsey Memorial Poetry Prize and as a result of that have published my debut poetry collection with Dempsey and Windle...I am so excited to be able to share my very first book with everyone: |
First of all, thank you! Thanks so much for supporting musicians with your hard-earned cash...:) |
Why, yes! |
Some themes that crop up a lot are birds, dreams & fairy tales. |
Yes, though I'm trying not to be!
I know they are harmless and useful.
I guess that's why I write and sing about them, to help me get over my fear....
Be brave and send your words out into the world…I know it can be scary but it’s the only way for your writing to find the readers it deserves. And don't be scared of rejection - it only takes one yes!
