Dublin launch of Gathering Evidence by Caoilinn Hughes and This is Yarrow by Tara Bergin.

The event is free and all are welcome. Wine will be provided.

Her poems have appeared in New Poetries V and her début collection This is Yarrow was published by Carcanet Press.
Caoilinn Hughes was born in Galway, Ireland in 1985. With BA and MA degrees from the Queen's University of Belfast, she moved to New Zealand. After working for Google, running a small business and writing novels on the weekends, she enrolled in a Ph.D. at Victoria University of Wellington. A selection of poems from Gathering Evidence won the 2012 Patrick Kavanagh Award, the 2013 Cúirt New Writing Prize, the 2012 STA Travel Writing Prize and the 2013 Trócaire / Poetry Ireland Competition.
