Trevor Carolan, experienced speaker, writer and lecturer spoke to us, the North Shore Writers Association, on March 15, 2005 at the Silk Purse. He began by reading from his poem VESPERS AMBLESIDE which ends with the line:

"A world of miracles, simple, peaceful, holy."

This and Trevor's sometimes quiet, sometimes rhythmic voice set the tone for his presentation. He spoke of reinforcing our vocation to writing by reading from his book CELTIC HIGHWAY and the necessity to correctly target the recipients of our work by choosing the publishers that publish the genre of work we write.
