White House Poetry Revival
Wed 7th Oct. 2009 9.00pm

Limerick launch of Lost Grace by Donal O'Flynn plus a reading by Stephen Roger Powers.

Donal O’Flynn’s work is always passionate and honest. His voice is individual and assured. He describes with sympathy and love the ordinary joys and trials of life, exchanges with and observations of family, friends and community that enhance our lives. Some of the work is playful, some mischievous where the revered are cast in the direct light of his own experience. Some poems use a language of directness that aptly matches the seriousness of the subject mattered explored. Lost Grace is Donal O'Flynn's debut collection and will be launched on the night.
