Hi Nuala,
That reading line-up sounds wonderful...it's reassuring to know that gatherings like this happen ...they can make poetry make a difference.
Are you going? I'll be there in spirit... : )

Hi Liz,
I know, the line-up is unreal.
I wish I was going but I live in East Galway, so week-nights in Dublin are hard to manage. My 2 kids are in school here.
I was born and brought up in Dublin and hope to move back when the kiddies are reared (or before?!), and then I'll feast on all the great events that seem to take place there constantly.
See you there in spirit!

Just found out this event is FREE.
Great line-up alright - hope to make it. Guessing It'll be jammers!
Lucky you, PJ. Get there at 6.10 (sharp!) I'd say, to get a seat.
Mary O'Donnell and Michael Longley are now added to the list of readers.
