A Wexford poet is looking forward with excitement to the launch next week of her first collection of poetry called Redress , published by Revival Press in Limerick.
Anne McCarry, a native of Kilmore living in Wexford town, writes under the pen name A.M. Cousins. She embarked on a MA in Creative Writing course in UCD with the original ambition of writing the perfect short story but was seduced by poetry and has been under its spell ever since.
Anne joined the writing course as a mature student after the birth of her first grandchild in 2013 and she won the prestigious FISH poetry prize in 2019 for a poem called Not My Michael Furey .
