It was then that we packed up and went to Galway, on Friday, 30th September for the second launch. This launch was performed by Kevin Higgins. It was a warm occasion and contributors from Galway and hinterland who read were Alan McMonagle, Mari Maxwell, Rachel Coventry, John Pinschmidt and Kevin Higgins. Evan Costigan recited his poem Leaving Nagasaki from memory.

Greg and Catherine Hastings and Paul Kerr made the trip to Galway too. Catherine read The Skate and Paul, A Trim Trek to the Reek. Later Carolyne Van Der Meer taught me to pronounce la coquille from my poem O Sonho do Mar properly, the l's are not pronounced. I hope I have that right! Many thanks to Charlie Byrne's Bookshop for providing the venue. When we woke, in the morning, it was October.
