It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek & this year's theme is 'Body Image'. The poem 'Love After Love' by Derek Walcott is a Reading Rooms favourite. It hits home the message of loving yourself & today we'd like to share it with you, read by our own Claire Harkin https://t.co/BT6mFImfhR

And we’re off! A warm welcome to @ReadingFriends_ at Edenballymore Lodge today. Volunteers Lyndon and Liz got to know our new group. They read poems and chatted about weddings, grandchildren, Italy, and sport. Plenty to build upon!

@amandadeibert A teacher sneared at me in the assessment centre . I was 17. "you copy all your poems off Bob Marley records". Poems were all I had. A couple of weeks ago The Times speculated if I was going to be the next poet laureate.

Just a week to go until @WorldBookNight. How are you getting on with The Handmaid's Tale and Mad Girl? Will you have finished reading them by April 23 at 14.30 in Eason? Would a free cup of coffee on the day help? Contact Verbal for more information.
