Where is the fabulous second hand bookshop?? I'm intrigued :)
I was slightly lost when I found it. Somewhere on the main street. Impossible to visit without purchasing.
Thanks for the mention - there are also some additional events at the festival, including a centenary celebration of Theodore Roethke with the poets Thomas McCarthy and Richard Murphy, a debate on the audience for poetry with several Irish and international poets and editors, and a free event in association with International PEN on the Sunday afternoon, which will feature most of our participating poets. You can see more on the festival website at www.poetrynow.ie
(PS, emerging writer, do you have a contact email? )
Hi Poetry,
Sounds like a great line up. I'm reluctant to release my email in the blog...I'm trying to stay a little anonymous in case future employers google me and find how much I blog! What's your contact and I'll email you.
