This Kildare based festival has been running for years. It does have a clique-y whiff about it and GMH is not my favourite poet, not even up there. Although who wouldn't like Manley as a middle name? Really? How cool would that be?
I'm too good to them really. Their website isn't working, the discover Ireland link is the best I could find or this one AND they didn't think to ask me to read. As well known Kildare poet. Imagine! Actually, I'm a little busy that week but anyway.
