There’s a whole range of interesting events and readings taking place at the Irish Writers’ Centre right now. You should check out their list of upcoming events here.
A season of Friday lunchtime readings commences tomorrow 22/2/13 for those of you lucky enough to live or work close by. The line up is as follows:
Friday 22 nd Febraury – Ken Bruen
Friday 1st March – Rosemarie Rowley
Friday 8th March – Selina Guinnes
Friday 15th March – Kathy D’Arcy – (well worth a visit)
Friday 22nd March – David Park
Friday 5th April – Eugene O’Connell
Friday 12th April – Donal Ryan – (The Spinning Heart is on my reading list – great reviews so far)
Friday 19th April – Gerry Murphy
There are also two interesting poetry launches from Dedalus Press coming up on 26th February: Harms Way, a first collection by Conor Carville, and Mysteries of the Home by the brilliant Paula Meehan.
I’m hoping to make David Park’s reading. I’m reading his new novel just now.
Donal Ryan’s book is beautifully written.
I haven’t read any of Park yet, but Donal Ryan’s is next on my list. I’m reading Richard Ford’s Canada at the moment and don’t want it to end!
