Trish Bennett spent her youth changing jobs, careers, and cities, building a lifetime of shenanigans to tap into later on when she gave in to the urge to write. In 2021, she was a Winner in the Dedalus Press Local Wonders Poetry Postcard Competition, Runner-Up in the Roscommon New Writing Award, Shortlisted in Trim Poetry Competition, and Longlisted in the National Poetry & Mslexia Poetry competitions. She's working on her debut poetry collection.

Why is poetry important?
Poetry is art. Art is of great importance because it helps us express ourselves in a way that others can enjoy. Like many forms of art, poetry brings comfort and pleasure. We identify with the emotions of the story that the poet expresses. In my own case, poetry changed my life. I began to write to help heal mentally after a missed miscarriage. I still write to get tortures out of my head.
