Eamonn Lynskey On the Radio

This week's Sunday Scrapbook has the delightful Eamonn Lynskey as our guide, complete with rather dashing author pic - here are some essential facts about our guest...

Eamonn Lynskey has had poetry published in many magazines and journals. He was nominated for the Sunday Tribune/ Hennessy Literary Award for New Irish Poetry in 2006 and one of his poems featured in last year's OXFAM calendar. His first collection 'Dispatch and Recollections' was published in 1998 by Lapwing (Belfast) and his second collection 'And Suddenly the Sun Again' will appear shortly from Seven Towers (Dublin). He is an enthusiastic supporter of open mic performance.

Eamonn blogs at http://tvif.wordpress.com/ and himself and myself will be taking on the theme of Poetry and Politics
Be there, 4pm, on Sunday, listen online on the liffey sound link to the right there, or 1pm Greenlandic time...

Can Eamon bring his llama to Lucan?

Niamh B said...

Eamonn was granted the freedom of Lucan, as a local resident, and may graze his lifestock on any public place therein.
But thank you for asking :-)

That is a very dashing photograph.
Great subject choice too.

Thanks Titus, yep it should make for a very interesting show!
