Last week Margaret Nohilly launched her second book of poetry 'The Overlap of Things' at events in Lanesboro and Longford. Published by Arlen House, and launched at the recent Strokestown International Poetry Festival, this is a distillation of three decades of work into a delightful collection. Covering an array of themes from relationships and nature to art 'The Overlap of Things' is the final product of years of work: “I have several folders, but it's a refinement process. I spend a lot of time on them. I am a perfectionist in what I want to do,” Margaret said. READ MORE BELOW PHOTO The poet was delighted to facilitate a local launch of the book: “I have been resident in Lanesboro for more than 50 years, so it made sense to have launches and readings in both Lanesboro and Longford Libraries. "The launch was a great success and copies of 'The Overlap of Things' are available in Newsround and in O'Brien's Corner Shop in Lanesboro. ”
