Boyne Berries

Boyne Berries

"Boyne Berries" is a literary magazine
published by the Boyne Writers' Group
in Trim Co. Meath. It was successfully
launched in the Castle Arch Hotel by
Minister Noel Dempsey and includes
contributions from poets as far afield
as Canada, Africa, India, Europe, England
and of course much closer to home.
Anyone familiar with the poetry scene in
Ireland will recognise many of the names
included here and there are stories too.
"Jimmy" says it all and "A Night in Provence"
reminds me of an American who on arriving
in a small French provincial town late one
night discovered the streets were rolled up.
It was 10 pm. But that's another story.
The poems have a descriptive or appeal
to the personal quality often contrasted
by a quirky or even dark humour.
Interesting and easily worth €5 Euro.
