Jan Brierton
Dubliner Jan is a poet who riffs on menopause, midlife, the mental load, friendships, relationships, loss, and self-acceptance, as seen in her two collections, What Day Is It? Who Gives a F*ck (2021) and Everybody Is a Poem: Midlife in Rhymes (2024). Plain-speaking and completely relatable, Jan's verses are served with humour, wit, and poignancy. This is poetry for everybody. She has appeared on RTE Nationwide, Ireland AM, and The Brendan O’Connor Show, and she is a regular guest poet on The Ray Darcy Show on RTE Radio 1.
