Mirror Lamp Press No.1: Happiness

The Irish Poetry Reading Archive  is "Ireland's only curated digital collection, where the voices of Irish poets, both North and South, doing readings, scholarly masterclasses, and in conversation, along with digital copies of poetry related materials (anthologies, programmes, posters) are preserved for future generations. Recordings are also made freely available in the UCD Digital Library." This is my second contribution to the Archive, following a bundle of poems from my second book The Architecture of...
