If anyone runs poetry readings and wants to talk to me about putting your town on the map (tongue in cheek here), contact me. Email is top of the sidebar. I'd love to add somewhere in the North, Donegal, Kilkenny, Waterford, Ennis, West Cork, Kildare and Sligo, amongst others.
And please, please come along. I'll be ever-so grateful. There's nothing worse than reading to a room of people who consist of the organisers, the barstaff and other readers.

This tour is a great idea. You should get tour t-shirts made!
Just saw this post now so won't make it tonight - in March! I'd love to hear your poems:)
Have no idea geographically how far apart these places are (apologies), but Good Luck and good travelling.
If you have any tour dates in the Waterford area June, July or early August would def be there. Would love to attend one of your readings. Second the t-shirt idea!
Hi, Thanks for your good wishes.
Ann, are there poetry readings in Waterford?
