Stench by Trish Bennett — BookShelfDiscovery ‘Stench’ is the debut collection from Fermanagh based Poet Trish Bennett. Very much rooted in the border hinterlands, these poems are full of humour, vigour and poignancy.

Ep 02: An Unexpected Parcel Guest Writer: Edel Coffey. New writing by: Bebe Ashley, Trish Bennet, Jennifer Lindsay Gray.

My poem, ‘A Dream of One More Outing’, dedicated to my wonderful mother-in-law, Moira, starts at 9.45 approx. I’ve tried to capture what a trailblazer she was. I’m thrilled that Zöe and Edel ‘got’ what I was trying to say. Thanks for selecting my piece.

My gratitude to Edel Coffey and Zöe for this amazing opportunity. This was written during a stint at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre earlier this year. Last photo is my high tech recording studio aka the hot press, or airing cupboard if you’ve notions.

So cool, Tom. Good luck with the work.

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.

Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.

Support local, not the billionaires.

What a recovery. Well done to your son, Luke. Best of luck.
