I'm really looking forward to the launch of  Four New Collections of Poetry by

 Colm Keegan

John Murphy

Peadar O'Donoghue

 and

Sarah Clancy 

If you are not familiar with their work, I PROMISE YOU, you will be in for an evening of talented, edgy, different, and emotionally gripping words of poetry. 

Don't believe me?

Thursday 31st May at 6.30pm. 

(All four poets will read - introductions by Jessie Lendennie)

(I haven't as yet read any of Sarah's poetry, but as one woman amongst these three men, she must be pretty fantastic, because Colm Keegan, John Murphy and Peader O'Donoghue are individually and collectively amazing poets.)
