The struggles of an emerging writer to get published. What exactly is it that I'm emerging from? Some kind of primeval literary goo?

Official launch of Night & Day
Please come to official launch of NIGHT & DAY, the amazing anthology of writing from South Dublin, edited by the wonderfully generous, highly talented and somewhat hairy Dermot Bolger.
When: 7pm on THURSDAY 4th of December
Where: The new arts centre in Tallaght called RED right beside Tallaght library.
Wine reception. New Island will have the book on sale at a reduced price of €10 on the night and it will be hitting the bookshops very shortly.
The night will also see the launch of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, Dermot's new collection.
Will I be reading? Yes, briefly from my series of Haiku.
Here's a taster for you:
Low maintenance shrubs,
groomed Tellytubby grass hills
feed hares and rabbits
Five Tuesday bunnies -
fur moons orbiting mother
Monday there were six
Today, four bunnies
nervous hops, white tails flagging -
something’s in the brush
Tabby cat’s tail whips,
baby rabbit in her jaws -
we pause, traumatised
