As part of the Stoneywoods Festival: Kiltyclogher Library, 1 – 3:30 pm, Saturday, July 1.
Kiltyclogher – Coillte Clochair, the Stoney Woods – sits halfway between the enigmatic Prince Connall’s Grave and the splendidly named Black Pig’s Dyke. It is the perfect place in which to learn from poems and stories inspired by myth, and write your own.
The workshop will be led by Monica Corish. €20, pay at the door – places limited to 16.
Sinead Morrisey, Belfast’s poet laureate and winner of the TS Eliot prize, will read at the Stoneywoods Festival on Saturday, July 1 at 5:50 p.m. Sinead will be accompanied by Teresa Lally, winner of the Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Award, and myself, Monica Corish. The event is €5 at the door and all are welcome to attend.
On Friday afternoon I will be MC at what promises to be a wonderful reading, with poetry from the seafaring Mick Delap and Donegal’s own Mary Turley McGrath, and Sally Neary on the forthcoming launch of Wild Atlantic Words by the MEAS writers of Donegal town. Spread the word!
Coming up this weekend, the Bailieborough Poetry Festival
Lots of Goodies: On Saturday there will be a poetry workshop with Vona Groarke; Saturday evening readings from Vona, Peter Fallon and Tom French; and lots more.
I’m on on the Friday evening at 7:30: Irene O’Dea of LitLab will interview me, and then I’ll read from A Dying Language.
