A new collection of poetry, entitled The Truth & Other Stories, by Sarah Clancy, will be launched at the Galway Arts Centre, Dominick Street, on Saturday (3pm ).
The Truth and Other Stories is Sarah Clancy’s third collection of poetry in which she excavates the personal and psychological wreckage caused by a grim and unrelenting recession in her native Ireland and further afield.
Rita Ann Higgins, who describes Clancy’s work as “real poems about real people,” will launch the book.
Sarah Clancy has been placed or shortlisted in several of Ireland’s most prestigious written poetry competitions, including The Ballymaloe International Poetry Prize, The Patrick Kavanagh Award and The Listowel Collection of Poetry Competition.
