Wordsmithery June 2025

For Rita Fitzpatrick it has been a lifetime’s dream to get her poetry into print form, and without the help, support and encouragement from her fellow poets, her book, Forget-Me-Not  may never have come to fruition. Be prepared for an emotional night as Rita takes us through tales of her childhood and the meaning behind the Forget-Me-Not.

Money from the sale of this book will be going to charity and that will be: Charles Thomson Mission for the homeless and disadvantaged.
