In 'Illuminate', Kerrie O’Brien has created a collection of poems that deals with a range of themes, yet is coherent in its style and beauty. Here she talks about ‘Illuminate’ and the work that went into creating it as well as reading two of the most loved poems from that collection. She also gives her take on the current literary scene as someone who has worked in many areas of it and the relationship between her poetry and her visual art.

21: Kerrie O'Brien

Kerrie O'Brien recently published her debut collection of poetry, Illuminate, out now on Salmon Poetry. Around the same time she released Looking at the Stars, an anthology of Irish writing in aid of Dublin Simon Community. We talk about her busiest year of writing to date, why she's so angry about the homeless crisis, Paris, and lots more. Kerrie is reading at O Bheal's winter warmer festival in Cork this weekend
