And the seed fell upon Stony ground

Evidently there must have been very few people who submitted for the Stony Thursday book this year because I got a letter in the post today informing me that my poem 'False Accusation' has been accepted and will be published in this year's volume.
Apparently, the launch is on this Thursday evening at the Daghda in John's Square, Limerick at 7pm. Do they always give you so little notice? Don't think I'll be able to make it. I'm doing my platelets Thursday morning, which means a 6am start, and I don't miss the platelets for anything.
Still, I'm thrilled to be included in the book and am looking forward to my contributor's copy (or do you only get that if you turn up?)
