Guinness Award winner Mary Bates' debut poetry kook launch rescheduled

The highly anticipated launch of Mary Bates' debut poetry book, Echoes of Resilience, has been rescheduled due to the disruptive effects of Storm Darragh.

Originally set to take place earlier in December, the event will now be held on Saturday, December 21, at 1pm at The Bookmark, in Letterkenny Shopping Centre.

The storm may have delayed the celebration, but it certainly won’t dampen the spirits of those eager to experience the powerful words of this local country and western singer-songwriter.

Echoes of Resilience is a poignant collection of poems that reflects Mary’s journey through personal adversity, spiritual exploration, and the enduring power of love.

Through each verse, she shares her deep emotional insights, offering a message of hope and perseverance. As Mary says, the book is “about triumph over life's challenges, and having faith in the process.”

Mary was recently honoured with a Guinness Archives award, and her book bears its hallmark.

Tommy Rosney, a well-known figure of Highland Radio, will officially open the event, marking the beginning of an afternoon that promises to inspire and connect readers. Despite the initial delay, Mary is hopeful that the new date will bring much-needed better weather, inviting all to join in celebrating the resilience captured in her poetry.

Mary’s ability to weave personal experience with universal themes makes Echoes of Resilience a must-read for those navigating their challenges or anyone looking for inspiration. The book launch promises to be a special occasion, and the welcoming atmosphere of Bookmark will provide the perfect backdrop to reflect on the triumph of the human spirit.

So mark your calendars for December 21st, and be part of the celebration of resilience, faith, and love in a world full of storms. All are welcome to attend, and with any luck, the weather will cooperate this time!

Mary’s book Echoes Of Resilience is available from her online store in print or digital format at: marybates.bigcartel.com. Mary’s book launch is at Bookmark, Letterkenny Shopping Centre, Letterkenny at 1pm, on Saturday, December 21.
