The Man Keeps Writing Itself Without Me

Jessamine O’Connor moved to south Sligo over twenty years ago and is glad she waited this long to go to third level – the W&L course with all its variety and challenges is exactly what she never knew she needed. During her time as a mature student at IT Sligo, her work has been published by Shot Glass Journal, The North, Poetry New Zealand, Bray Arts Journal, Poet’s Republic, The Cormorant, Abridged, Culture Matters, Autumn Leaves, Ofi Press, Skylight47, Jacar Press, Black Light Engine Room, and her collection ‘Silver Spoon’ was published by Salmon Poetry in December 2020. She is an editor with Drunk Muse Press, and on the editorial team of Scrimshaw. She is currently working on a novel.
