Our listener contribution this month is from Write On’s Eithne Cullen

Eithne Cullen was born in Dublin and moved to London when she was six. She has had poems published in anthologies and magazines. She has published two novels: The Ogress of Reading and Never not in my Thoughts and a volume of short stories called Pencils and other Stories. She has had some success as a poet, was Hysteria Poet in residence in 2020 and published a pamphlet in 2021, called The Smell of Dust and was crowned Poet Laureate of Plumstead in 2022. She’s recently written some poetry which was used in the creation of a musical piece, A Better World is Possible.

Eithne is a page editor for Write On! Magazine’s Thoughtful Tuesday page. She’s had stories, poems, interviews and articles in the magazine. She’s also delivered creative writing classes online for Pen to Print. She lives with her husband in East London. She is unashamedly proud of her three grown up children and endeavours to embarrass them as often as she can.
