In recent months, through the medium of Facebook, I’ve come across a brilliant resource for writers and readers of Irish literature.
The Irish Literary Times website provides up-to-date coverage of Irish literary news and events in a magazine format via articles available online. The aim of the site is to promote Irish literature as widely as possible. The site contains a “Suggest” button where relevant articles can be suggested for inclusion. The articles should be very recent and must contain the link to the website they came from.
The site is curated by Gerard Beirne “an Irish poet and novelist now living in New Brunswick Canada where is a Fiction Editor of The Fiddlehead (Canada’s oldest literary magazine). His most recent collection of poetry is Games of Chance:A Gambler`s Manual (Oberon Press). His novel The Eskimo in the Net (Marion Boyars Publishers) was shortlisted for the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award and was selected by the Literary Editor of the Daily Express as his Book of the Year 2004 “scandalously ignored by the Man Booker judges…”
Anything that happens of any relevance in Irish literary circles is covered here, so you’d be well advised to connect via Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin.
