First full collection!

So busy has October been I haven’t even had time to promote my own first collection! A belated post therefore thanking all those who made the full-house London launch at the Poetry Café, with readings from Isabelle Baafi, Olive Franklin, Nathan Evans, Piero Toto, Sara Aghlani and Neil Douglas. It was wonderful to be in such company.

BIG THANKS to Verve Poetry Press for accepting it, and to Amy Raffety for the amazing cover photo. You can buy the collection from Verve here: https://www.vervepoetrybookshop.com/product-page/my-deep-and-gorgeous-thirst-ellen-mcateer

Meanwhile, my Glasgow launch is still to come on Tuesday 5th November at tell it slant, based inside Locavore Govanhill at 349 Victoria Rd, G42 7SA. It is a joint launch with Juana Adcock, whose gorgeous new book I Sugar the Bones is out this month. We are supported by Amy Raffety, Henry Bell and Christie Williamson, with music by Ceylan Hay and Jim McAteer. From 8pm. Hope to see folk there!
