Beidh ócáid ar siúl i Leabharlann na Cathrach i gCorcaigh ag 7 tráthnóna inniu in ómós do Liam Ó Muirthile. Is mar chuid den Cork Work Book Fest a bheidh mé féin, Louis de Paor agus Mícheál Ó hUanacháin ag caint faoi shaothar Uí Mhuirthile a d’imigh ar shlí na fírinne bliain ó shin, nach mór. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam.

Tá go leor imeachtaí eile ar chlár na féile: seoladh leabhair Thomas McCarthy oíche Dhéardaoin, agus beidh file ón gCatalóin, Sílvia Aymerich-Lemos, ag caint Dé Sathairn, mar shampla.

I’m really looking forward to the Dromineer Literary Festival in Tipperary this weekend. Highlights include the Friday evening reading, George Szirtes, Thomas McCarthy, Pascale Petit and Billy Ramsell. There are workshops on Saturday and a reading by Breda Wall Ryan, Victoria Kennefick and Maeve O’Sullivan. On Sunday, Dave McAvinchey, Caitríona Ní Chléirchín and I will be performing at the Dánta Grádha Reading (Love Poems) with harpist Laura Hogan. There’s also a mindfulness event, a songwriting workshop, a play and a photography exhibition. You can view the full programme here.
