St Patrick’s Literary Festival Update « Wrote Under Publishing – I received this email from St Patrick’s Festival organiser Kent Davis today:
Everyone knows that the Irish have an extremely enviable literary history. But what do most know of the details? Can you quote any Brendan Behan? Apart from having nothing to declare from his genius what else did Oscar Wilde have to say? Was Ulysses a sea-faring Sinbad type character?
This year the St Patrick’s Festival aims to provide an easy introduction to such matters by hosting it’s inaugural Literary Festival. Members of the community will be reciting some favourite Irish poems and prose and providing a little insight into a treasure trove that has remained in a darkened room for many of us.
This free event is due to take place at The Old Crown Inn on Tuesday March 16th at 7pm. If you’d like to get involved, why not come along to The Spotted Dog at 6pm next Tues 23rd Feb to chat event plans in the building with fellow literary souls?
