Irish Lifelines: an anthology of poetry by Irish women survivors in London
We are delighted to announce the publication of a new poetry anthology written by Irish women in London.
Editor, acclaimed poet Eamer O'Keeffe says "This evocative collection draws on the sadness, distress, humour and joie de vivre of these remarkable women. Being a survivor of any kind means having to hide a large part of ourselves… music, art and poetry are great healers of the soul. The survivor movement has grown in strength over recent years creating many groups which have generated expression through art, writing and performance."
Contributors include Julie McNamara, playwright, singer and winner of Lifetime Achievement award at the Dada festival 2006 for her work in disability arts and Kathleen O'Sullivan, traditional singer who recently performed at Glastonbury Festival with 'The London Lasses and Pete Quinn'.
Poetry Readings:
The Irish Book Fair, Irish Cultural Centre Hammersmith on Saturday 7th March 2009
Trafalgar Square as part of the Mayor of London's St.Patrick's Day Celebrations on Sunday 15th March 2009
Available to purchase from LIWC for £5
