The Limerick Writers’ Centre presents
POETRY: READING IT, WRITING IT, PUBLISHING IT!
at The Locke Bar, Georges Quay, Limerick
Thursday 5th Nov 2009 8.30pm
The Limerick Writers’ Centre continue their ‘On The Nail’ reading series with a special evening devoted to the art of reading,writing and publishing poetry at The Locke Bar, George’s Quay, Limerick on Thursday 5th Nov 2009 at 8.30pm plus music on the night will be provided by Chris Wood and friends.
Based on the best selling Salmon Poetry book: Poetry: Reading It, Writing It, Publishing It! is an unusual take on poetry and the marketplace. It contains advice in the form of essays by poets and publishers (and poets who are also publishers) such as Rita Ann Higgins, Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Kevin Higgins and Caroline Lynch. As well as a frank take on publishing, there are essays from poets who mentor poetry writing workshops, poets who teach poetry at universities, poets who host reading series, run poetry organizations, and publish e-journals. In other words, poets who lives are absorbed in the practice of poetry. The book is intended to give a true perspective on contemporary poetry for those who aspire to the art, and those who would like to understand what it means to be a poet. The focus is international: The contributors are Irish, British, American, Canadian, African and Australian.
