Fergus Dennehy will see his poem published in the new issue of HeadSpace Magazine.
A TRALEETODAY.IE writer will have his work featured in a national magazine next month in an issue of HeadSpace Magazine.
The magazine is centred around the theme of promoting positive mental health and is distributed to mental health centres and psychiatric centres around the country.
Fergus Dennehy, a native of the Cahermoneen area, will have his poem entitled ‘The Battle’ featured as part of a collection of other works in what will be the publication’s fourth issue.

Fergus has been invited to Dublin on August 7, along with other contributors to help celebrate the launch in Sweeney’s Bar, Dame Street at 7.30pm on the night.
“It was back in January that I found the submission details online through ‘Writing.ie’ and because I had written a few poems up to then, I figured that I would give it a go and send some in to the magazine,” according to Fergus.
“I heard nothing back for a few months then after this, so naturally I was pleasantly shocked when I got the email in April saying that my work had been chosen.”
“The poem is called ‘The Battle’ and is naturally centred around a battlefield in the immediate aftermath of a fight between two opposing armies. The scene is pretty chaotic I admit, I wanted to try and portray this feeling of being overwhelmed really, and hopefully I did that in some small way,” he said.
The magazine will be available to purchase on the night, which will feature live music on the night also, so if you’re around Dublin that night, definitely make sure to pop in.
