This Wednesday, Oct 13th, I will be giving a reading at 1p.m. in the Captain's Room of the Hunt Museum as part of this year's Cuisle Limerick City International Poetry Festival. If you are at all free to attend - attendance is only three euros - please do come along, I'd appreciate all the support I can get. If not, please send colourful and interesting excuses to this address.

This is the opening event in a packed four days of poetry events though and, not being into shameless self-promotion exclusively, I'd encourage you to attend and give your support to the other invited guests too, or as many as you can, among them Alan Peterson, Catherine Phil MacCarthy, Rita Ann Higgins, Vincent Woods, Kerry Hardie...
