Reading in the library courtyard with Margaret Galvin.

Margaret has lived in Wexford town for over forty years where she worked variously with the library service, as Editor of Ireland's Own and in Social Care.  Her work is well represented in literary journals, most recently The Honest Ulsterman, The North, The Lake and in Live Encounters. Her collections include The Waiting Room (Doghouse), The Wardrobe Mistress and The Scattering Lawns (Lapwing).  In 2019, in collaboration with Cahir Historical Society she brought out a collection of poetry, 'The Finer Points', detailing the experiences growing up in Ireland in the 1960s and 1970s. 

She has recently compiled and edited a collection of prose and poetry, bringing together the work of forty-eight contemporary Tipperary writers in a collection entitled 'Around Each Bend'. This project was funded by the Arts Office, Tipperary County Council.  A recipient of the Brendan Kennelly Award, critics regard her work as 'gritty and unsentimental'.
