DAMIAN SMYTH - IRISH STREET - NEW POETRY COLLECTION

-


 











I know Damian Smyth a bit. We've had several coffees together on Botanic Avenue, Belfast. He is a passionate ambassador for Northern Ireland creatives.  He has been more than supportive of me and my writing efforts.  I love him for it.  I am grateful to him in so many ways.  We met on twitter but really met in 2013 at the Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast, home to so many brilliant writers and performers. It was pre Belfast Book Festival when I was invited to give a talk on film star Stephen Boyd, who was born and raised in these parts.  I had written a biography of Boyd' s life and work.

I have all of Damian's published writings, some of which he signed.  Writing that takes you there and there and there.

His latest collection - Irish Street - confirms his wonderful and creative sense of place - Downpatrick and its streets - locally, nationally and internationally.

From July 2011 to March 2023, I built my Dropped the Moon blog and received 333, 384 views.   Here is the link to that archive of musings, poetry, celebrity profiles, fast fiction, book reviews, music reviews, and much else -  https://droppedthemoon.blogspot.com  Please have a browse any time.   Due to a technical hitch, I have decided to create a new blog called '2023 New Dropped the Moon', to carry on doing what I have done since 2011.   I hope you enjoy both the archive and the continuance of posts.   This book is on sale from today - 28 March, 2023. I am reading it, I am enjoying it and I will blog a full review in due course. Meanwhile, here is a feature link about the book in today's Belfast Telegraph: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/books/ni-author-tony-macaulays-novel-on-reconciliation-in-rwanda-shares-message-he-hopes-to-bring-home/679366994.html   Congratulations Tony and Juvens.

  Kill the Devil A Love Story from Rwanda by Tony Macaulay and Juvens Nsabimana 2023 Matador BLURB: "You can run and leave a place behind, but you can't leave behind what is running inside of you." A woman and a man nearly destroyed by extreme violence, hatred and despair, follow a rare and unexpected path, discover extreme forgiveness, love and hope. Three fishermen pull a near lifeless woman from the lake; having suffered unimaginable loss.  Patricia's life is empty and her only motivation to go on is to bring the one responsible to justice.  Always on the verge of running, a man hides from his guilt in Kigali, terrified of his anonymity being compromised and his past uncovered. Shining a light on the remarkable, untold stories of reconciliation in Rwanda since the genocide, Kill the Devil is a love story between a survivor and a perpetrator of genocide in a lesson for our times and for all time..... REVIEW From April to July, 1994, during the Rwandan civil war, ext...
