The date has been set for the launch of my debut poetry collection, Rus in Urbe, generously supported by Kildare Arts Council. The launch will take place on Tuesday, 22nd May in the Sarsfield Room of the Springfield Hotel, Leixlip at 7.30/800pm. Refreshments will be supplied and admission is free. The publisher is Noel King of Doghouse and Monday and Wednesday he will also be launching two fine poets, Michael Farry in Trim and Barbara Smith in Dundalk. The reason for the title of my book, Rus in Urbe is that I’m an urban guy with a rustic interior. I was bred and buttered in Dublin which accounts for the in urbe half of the poems and spending a lot of my adult life in west Cork and Kildare accounts for the rus element in the collection. If you click on poetry on my website, you will be able to read sample poems.
