I write poetry and occasionally flash fiction. I’m a teacher of English and History at Loreto Community School in Milford, Co Donegal and while my degree is in English and History, I really came to writing through the classroom.
I was successful with developing my students’ creative writing and asked in 2010 by Dr Kevin Mc Dermott, who worked with Second Level Support Services at the time, to deliver a workshop to other English Teachers called Drawing it Out. That workshop was subsequently published in Teaching English Magazine.
I was one of the organisers of North West Words monthly readings in Letterkenny for five years and the organiser of NWW Writing Weekend.
I believe the conversation and support of other writers found in workshops and groups inspires and sustains my writing. I love live poetry readings; engaging in the shared experience of both listening and reading.
My collection Home was published in November 2018 by Revival Press at the Limerick Writers' Centre
You can read some of my poems online on the Our Work Online page of this blog.
