ATHENRY WRITER Anji O’Donnell has just published her debut collection of poetry, High & Dry, and it has received high praise from leading crime writer Ken Bruen.
Anji wrote the poems in response to times of hardship and emotional trauma which she went through a number of years ago. Ken Bruen has described High & Dry as “a cri de coeur wrenched from the darkest places the human mind can deliver...Anji, in her unflinching look at her own life has indeed found her voice. And what a voice it is...Anji has taken her pain, performed an act of sheer transcendence and made it sing”.
Anji is a keen organic gardener and chess player. She works with Challenging Minds, a mental health advocacy project which aims to eradicate the stigma associated with mental illness.
