    Ruth Enright, author of Clarionettes

    When did you first consider yourself a writer? I have always felt that I was a writer, from childhood onwards. I love trying to capture something felt or seen in a poem, or to write a story and create characters as vividly as possible. As soon as I could read I felt that, whatever else…
