New Poetry Film Released
I’m bowled over by the beautiful work done by filmmaker Matthew Thompson and the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation on producing this film of my poem River Stars from a Grotto.
The film was released in partnership with Belfast Book Festival - alongside films of work by poets Emma Must and Leontia Flynn. Special shout-out to poet & producer Mícheál McCann for inviting me to be part of this collaboration. I’m beyond thankful and proud to share the results.
The films will be available for public viewing in the cafe area of the Crescent Arts Centre for the duration of the 2023 festival, as well as on the ABPF website (linked here).
Please share if this work speaks to you, or if you know someone with whom it might rhyme.
Many slaintés!
