The Mullingar Literary Festival – an unforgettable weekend,

full of laughter and joy, something I am so honoured I had the pleasure to attend,

moved from the artistic pieces, I laughed and I cried,

phenomenal creatives reaching audiences far and wide,

stories and song, interviews and prose,

Into a marvellous authenticity the spoken word flowed,

poetry and jazz, my complete immersion deep

into remarkable history this festival is now steeped,

meaningful and raw, that weekend creativity stood alive,

I just can’t wait for MLF ‘26 to arrive
