I'm delighted that my poem Glove is to be included in this year's Stony Thursday Book. The editor is Mary Coll. The launch will take place on Thursday, 13th October in The Belltable Arts Centre, Limerick at 7pm. The book will be launched as part of The Cuisle Poetry festival. http://www.cuisle.limerick.ie/ I'd love to make it to the launch.
The Stony Thursday Book was founded by Limerick poets John Liddy and Jim Burke in 1975, and has also been edited by Mark Whelan, Kevin Byrne, Patrick Bourke, Knute Skinner and Thomas McCarthy.
The Stony Thursday Book is one of the longest-running literary journals in Ireland and celebrated its 30th Anniversary Edition in 2005.
