I have David Mohan guesting on the show this weekend, he's one of our local treasures, and is talking on the theme of Passion. Nicked the below bio of him from this week's Poetry Ireland newsletter.
"David lives and works in Dublin and is a member of the Lucan Writers' group. He has had poems featured in the 2008 and 2009 Oxfam calendars, and his poems have appeared in various publications including The Sunday Tribune, Revival and the 2008 poetry anthology Night and Day. He won the 2008 Hennessy/Sunday Tribune Poetry Award, as well as the overall New Irish Writing Award."
He's had an amazing year - left out of the above are his placements in the Sean O Faolain International short story, Yeats poetry, and Jonathon Swift competitions, and the fact that the blurb was written because he'd won the Over the Edge New Writer of the year.
He reveals exactly how he does it - step by step - how to become a genius writer - on the show - this weekend. 11 - 12. This Sunday - Liffey Sound. Listen in if you can at all.
In other news my laptop has had another crash - so service here will be intermittant, I would imagine until the week after this coming one - since I'll get no chance to fix it this weekend. (Not that I'd be fixing it myself - but you know what I mean)

Really looking forward to that, will be tuned in....
My goodness, this promises to be good. We will have so many geniuses (or even genii) posting stuff for next Monday's challenge!
(Get that laptop fixed - we can't do without your constant updates.)
Of course, you could have nicked the bio from our very own Lucan Writers website (lucanwriters.ie !) and you'd have gotten a completely up to date bio, including his recent wins... :)
Thanks BM - twill be worth a listen.
Yes DQ - and no laptop for at least a week and a half - maybe I'll just come round to your house and blog from there!! That'd be funny - guest blogging by actually physically visiting the other bloggers house... hmmm
Oub - yes! SORRY - just didn't think of it, and such an excellent website it is... Darn it.
Really loved this, though can't believe they cut off Kate Bush before she even started....!
Lol - true it was a travesty to cut Kate Bush. Thanks for that.
Thnks BM - David was a great guest, I wasn't involved in the final edit of the show of course, I'd have cut girls aloud instead!!!
