Aw, too short notice for me... blub, blub, blub... best of luck on the night. Good to see Arlen going from strength to strength

Sounds good. Do you know if all 4 poets will be reading?

Hi PJ, to the best of my knowledge, all 4 will read. I am certainly writing my launch speech with the idea that they will all be there to share some work.
maybe see you there?

Emerging Writer said...

Me again. I meant to ask, who are Arlen House exactly?

Group 8 said...

Arlen House are a Galway based publisher, started as a feminist press in 1975 by Catherine Rose and re-launched in 2000 by Alan Hayes. They published early Eavan Boland and these days Pauline Bewick's art books, amongst many others.
They have published all 4 of my books. They publish poetry, short fiction and academic titles.
They don't have a website but Alan's contact details are available from Clé.

Hi WRW, I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to tell you that you can apply to join the Feminist Open Forum google group if you want updates on what's going on. It's at groups.google.ie/group/feministopenforum I think. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks a million, Fiona. I'll try that link now. N.
