You are invited to the Zoom launch by Tomás Mac Síomóin & Aisling Richmond of Kevin Higgins’ new book The Colour Yellow & The Number 19 – Negative Thoughts That Helped One Man Mostly Retain His Sanity During 2020 which is published by Nuascéalta.
In a mix of poetry and prose, Kevin Higgins takes a darkly humorous approach to finding himself designated one of the “vulnerable” during the year in which plague again stalked the Earth. He also, as is his way, finds time to drop acerbic comment on the heads of the ungood and the ungreat, and to comment in a fairly unrestrained fashion on world affairs. This is the ideal Christmas or Birthday present for Irish Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan and for those who, when the time comes, hope to be invited to Kevin’s funeral. It is also the perfect gift for the posh liberal in your life.
The book will be launched by well known Somatic therapist Aisling Richmond and renowned writer and critic Tomás Mac Siomóin. The MC for the evening will be poet Rachel Coventry.
Make sure you have your copy of The Colour Yellow & The Number 19 for the launch by buying a copy in advance here
