SUMMARY:Gill Barr
DESCRIPTION:Gill Barr’s debut collection A Wide River Divides Us (publish
 ed by Cinnamon Press this August) opens with acute recollections of a trou
 bled childhood in 1970s Derry/Londonderry\, evoking the child’s experien
 ce as violence escalates in the streets around her.\nIn a compelling fifty
 -year leap the poet leaves behind the city of her youth\, sweeping into an
  expansive future\, where she reckons with the past and with her self. The
  arc of this poetry collection is tremendous\, ambitious\, wide – what s
 trikes most is its sheer vitality and variety. An accomplished and distinc
 tive collection.\nGill holds an MA in Creative Writing from Queen’s Univ
 ersity\, Belfast and received an award for her poetry from the Arts Counci
 l of Northern Ireland in 2024. Her poems have appeared in a wide range of 
 publications and she was our East Coker Competition Judge in 2021.
