Working Class Poet Makes Good!
I have received and accepted an invitation to read and participate in the Fermoy International Poetry Festival this summer the first week of August! Whoot! This will be like going home for me as my Ancestor "James Bryan" emigrated from there in 1849! This is so cool! I am humbled, overwhelmed, amazed and blessed! Can't wait! Unfortunately, this years funding for the festival has been cut and while accommodations and a readers fee will be provided, I must fund the cost of transportation myself.
