Gifted Poet, Karen O’Connor, formerly of Station Road, Millstreet we hope to meet tomorrow at 6.00 p.m. in Siamsa Tíre Theatre & Arts Centre, Town Park, Tralee when her book “Between the Lines” will be officially launched by the Mayor of Tralee, Gillian Wharton Slattery. This is just one of the many very uplifting comments on Karen’s first publication “Fingerprints” (2005):
“I think I’ll never forget reading “FINGERPRINTS (On Canvas)” for the first time. It was such a delight to discover a voice powered by a spirit of passionate celebration while at the same time confronting dark, difficult emotions, situations and ideas. This is a brilliant, humane, memorable book.”
Dr. Brendan Kennelly
Lots more information on Karen’s impressive achievements on her website http://www.karenoconnor.co.uk/ . We hope to upload a special feature on the launch in days to come. (S.R.)
