An evening of poetry
The South Tipperary Arts Office and the County Museum are holding a Poetry Evening and Networking Event to celebrate All-Ireland Poetry Day at the County Museum, Mick Delahunty Square, Clonmel on Thursday, 7th October at 8pm.
A wine reception will be followed by a reading by guest poet Grace Wells and an open-mic session of local poetry. Poets wishing to read their work can register their interest on the night and they will be able to read a maximum of two poems, depending on numbers present.
Grace Wells' first collection of poetry, 'When God has been called away to Greater Things', was published by Dedalus Press in May, and has been short-listed for the London Fringe Festival New Poetry Award.
In 1993 she won the Best Newcomer Bisto Award for her debut children's novel, 'Gyrfalcon', which was also an International White Ravens' Choice. Children's books, 'One World, Our World' and 'Ice-Dreams' appeared in 2009.
Her poetry and short stories have been published widely and she reviews Irish poetry for the University of Chicago's online literary journal, 'Contrary', and for 'The Stinging Fly'. She was awarded the 2009 South Tipperary County Council Artist's Bursary.
