Kilkenny poet Nora Brennan’s second collection of poems, Still Time, will be launched on 21st November next at 6pm in the Mayfair Library.
Published by Revival Press, Still Time is described by poet and lecturer Dr Derek Coyle as “a collection of remarkable maturity, depth and range.” Evocative verses are crafted out of the ordinary every day and explore themes of love, loss and mortality. “In tune with the natural landscape,” the poet is keenly aware of nature’s power to restore and redeem, and our responsibility towards it.
The collection has also been acclaimed by the poet Jean O’Brien who describes it as a “mature reflection and an assured deepening of her craft. The poet deals fearlessly with darkness and light and always veers on the side of hope and redemption.”
Nora is a native of Co. Kilkenny and grew up on a farm outside Inistioge. She has been a prize winner in national competitions and published her first collection of poetry, The Greening of Stubble Ground in 2017.
Still Time will be launched on 21st November by poet Kerry Hardie and music will be provided by Siobhan Maher and Elizabeth Kett. It will be available to purchase in The Book Centre and Khan’s Books Kilkenny. All are welcome to attend.
