I’m delighted to announce that I’ve won the NurePoets Corner Award 2025 with my poem ‘Unmoored’. The judge was the esteemed John F. Deane, which makes it a huge honour for me. The award was presented during an afternoon-long celebration of poetry and music that formed part of the weekend-long Eigse Terenure Festival. We were treated to poetry from John F. Deane and Emmet Kirwan, and poetry-inspired music from Eileen Gogan. Peter Coghlan was our excellent MC and the award itself is a beautiful sculptural piece called ‘Mystery Key’ created by Ian Pollock.
