My poem, ‘A Dream of One More Outing’, dedicated to my wonderful mother-in-law, Moira, starts at 9.45 approx. I’ve tried to capture what a trailblazer she was. I’m thrilled that Zöe and Edel ‘got’ what I was trying to say. Thanks for selecting my piece.

My gratitude to Edel Coffey and Zöe for this amazing opportunity. This was written during a stint at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre earlier this year. Last photo is my high tech recording studio aka the hot press, or airing cupboard if you’ve notions.

My son Luke: "I suffered a life-threatening brain injury...and spent five weeks in a coma. I had to retrain my body to do everything, from moving my fingers to walking....With incredible difficulty and determination, I trained myself to write again.

What a recovery. Well done to your son, Luke. Best of luck.
