Hi, Jennifer Liston here.

I was thrilled to do two poetry readings in Galway last week: one at the Roisin Dubh (4th November) and one at the Crane bar (9th November).

Both were well attended, and it was great to share the podium with such talented local poets, and with Canberra's own Tobias Manderson-Galvin, who is Munster Slam Champion 2009.

Many thanks to Kevin Higgins of Over the Edge, Laurie Leech and John Walsh for organising a slot for me at short notice.

Much appreciated...and I'll definitely be back in June next year to do another few readings. Perhaps even a book launch...

Here's what reader Sue Owen had to say about Jennifer Liston's poetry:

I purchased both of Jennifer's books and highly recommend them for both personal reading and also as gifts.

I thoroughly enjoy Jennifer's style of poetry. I particularly appreciated her unique infusion of personal moments into each of her poems.

Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to write so beautifully.

And thank you very much Sue for taking the time to give such lovely feedback.
