 *** Evelyn: Please check your email re submission and get back to me. B.

Evelyn Casey is a regular reader at the White House Poetry Revival sessions.

Having just returned from Germany in 2009, after 14 years, she was invited to a poetry evening at the White House bar and was inspired to open her secret world of words to others. Her means of escape, for as long as she can remember, has always been scribbling stories dreams, conversations and events. Since then her work has featured in the poetry journal, Revival, and she has been guest poet at the White House Poetry Revival sessions and O Bhéal in Cork. Her work also appear in SEXTET (Revival Press, 2010), an anthology of six poets.

Born 7th of 12 children to wonderful parents, Mick and Eva, to Evelyn, family is her most precious jewel. Reared and educated in Limerick, Evelyn works as a fitness/health trainer at the Limerick University Arena and spends time with Special Olympics Limerick. In her prose and poetry, she likes to express everyone and everything that has yet to be uncovered. 

Evelyn's two life mottos:

You only have to die

Are we having fun yet?
