PUBLISHER SHREDS GALWAY POETS MEMOIR AFTER BROTHER OBJECTS

September 23, 2010 - 8:11am

 

A publisher has been forced to shred 900 copies of a new book of poetry and prose by Galway poet Rita Ann Higgins.

The Irish Times is reporting a new edition of the book is being printed this week by Salmon Publishing in time for Saturday's official publication date in Galway.

Rita Ann Higgins says the issue arose when her brother objected to a reference to him in the collection, which is described as part essay and part rhyme.
