Poetry Section
Welcome to the poetry section of the Fullstop literary journal complied and edited by students of the M.A in English literature; Aisling Moran, Aoife Nihill, Sheila Bunce and Peig Connor. This years journal received a record breaking number of poetry submissions with over 30 poems up for contention. As a result, the decision making process was extremely difficult, leaving each member of the poetry team vying to have their personal preferences included. Eventually, after some lengthy deliberation, decisions were made and the poetry section of this journal finally materialised. Thus, it is with immense pleasure and pride that we present to you, the reader, a highly commendable selection of poetry. From amateur poets to those with more experience, this years journal represents but a fraction of the talented poets which our society has today and thus offers a beacon of hope for the poetry of future generations. We would also like to take this opportunity to genuinely thank each and every contributor to our journal and to offer our sincere apologies to those who could not be included due to the sheer volume we received. Finally, we hope you enjoy the selection of poetry we have provided and please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further info on the poems featured.
