ORIGIN OF MY FACEBOOK PROFILE PICTURE

The picture shows me giving an impromptu post-midnight reading at the request of some young people outside Bush's Bar, Baltimore, Co Cork, in the summer of 2016. The poem was  'Turnip' from the collection I have in my hand, Life Monitor. I was invited down to Baltimore to read at the O'Driscoll Clan Gathering that summer. I use this as my 'profile' picture on Facebook as it has, for me at least, some kind of iconic vibe.
