Salmon grows by leaps and bounds
JESSIE Lendennie, the founder and managing editor of the Salmon Poetry press, says poetry is sexy. She recently opened The Salmon Bookshop and Literary Centre in Ennistymon, County Clare, though the official launch is Feb 2. Established in Galway 31 years ago, Salmon Poetry was based near the Cliffs of Moher for the last 17 years, but is now in the new centre.
Ennistymon’s literary claim to fame is a Dylan Thomas connection. The Welsh poet’s wife, Caitlin McNamara, was the daughter of the man who owned what is now the Falls Hotel.
