Kerrie O’Brien's book will help the homeless

Kerrie O’Brien, reading at the Winter Warmers event in Cork this weekend, has also put together a book in aid of the homeless, writes Eoghan O’Sullivan

IT’S been a busy year for Dublin writer and poet Kerrie O’Brien. The first quarter of 2016 saw her holed up completing her debut book of poetry, Illuminate, which was released via Salmon Poetry at the beginning of October.

The second quarter involved her cradling the idea of a collection of Irish writing to raise money for homeless charities.
