...
or not. The problem is, I'm not - technical, that is. During this
lockdown, I've been trying to learn how to set up a blog, a
website(forget it!), create and upload videos to a YouTube channel
and generally plan for a virtual launch for my poetry chapbook, The
Untethered Space, without having much of a clue. All this while
failing miserable to do Zoom quizzes with my scattered family! It's
been the odd step forward and odder steps backwards and to make
matters worse, my publisher's website (4Word Press) has been hacked
by Russian bots! You couldn't make it up.
Anyway
(drum roll, please) publication day is Monday June 1st and I will be
virtually launching the book on that date at 19.30 British Summer Time. Please
join me to raise a glass and listen to/watch a few poems and take part in a
light-hearted quiz.
Here's
what Gabriel Byrne and Philip Gross had to say about the collection:
These
poems are elegantly constructed and delicately lyrical. A haunting
and deeply moving collection. Gabriel
Byrne, Hollywood actor
One
of the time-honoured tasks of poetry is that of lament, and Carol
Caffrey’s poems take it on with grace and wit as well as
sensitivity... And like the best of elegy, this writing steps through
sadness into celebration of language and life.” Philip
Gross, T.S. Eliot prize-winner
I
do hope I'll see you at the launch!
