Award-winning blogger Áine Durkin has been writing poetry for years, but this is her first published collection and it was awarded the first prize for a debut book in the 2017 Oireachtas na Gaeilge literary awards, 2017.
This collection of poetry is part memoir and part observation over a number of years. Some poems deal with personal events in the poet’s life and others look outwards to the world and events around her.
