Prose & Poetry in Motion
MICK ROONEY | PROSE | POETRY | READINGS | LOCAL IRISH HISTORY |
Prose & Poetry in Motion is a showcase for my own writing and published books. I am an author, journalist, broadcaster and researcher. Some of my research is about south Dublin history, where I grew up. I now live in the Netherlands.
My writing is highly descriptive and visual. Most of the content here, prose or poetry, comes with images or videos created to accompany the readings and performances.
I also occasionally create videos and read the work of other writers.
This is an arts and culture channel. I do not offer writing and publishing advice.
