Crannóg - ‘Whistle’

With it being based in Galway, a really important place for my family, Crannóg had been a dream publication for me for years.

So, it was incredible to see my poem ‘Whistle’ published in Issue 62 and to perform at the launch at The Crane Bar in Galway during Cúirt Festival 2025.

My poem delves into my experiences of learning to play tin whistle through a neurodivergent lens, as well as my emotions in the run-up to my elbow surgery a few years ago. It also touches on family, heritage, and birds.

The journal can currently be ordered here. I hope you enjoy my poem.
