Episode 72 Gerry Bohan

I enjoyed a lovely conversation with Gerry Bohan, farmer and author living in County Leitrim, in the northwest of Ireland.  I was touched by his first experiences with writing as a child, having his copy book thrown to the floor by impatient teachers.

Gerry talks about finding safe spaces to perform one's work, writing for self-expression, and sharing a way of life unique to his family and their connection to the land.
