Ballina Arts Centre celebrates the publication of the first collection of poems by Michelle O’Sullivan with a launch and reading by the Ballina-based poet on Tuesday, July 17, at 7pm. Michelle will read from the collection and fellow poet Sean Lysaght will be guest speaker on the night.
Entitled The Blue End of Stars, the debut collection is published by Gallery Press and features many poems set in the early light of morning, the half-light of evening, or the firelight of a damp day. Many occur by water’s edge, quayside, shore or riverbank.
At the core of The Blue End of Stars lies ‘Sketches for Vincent’, based on the life and letters of Vincent van Gogh. Admission is free and all are welcome
