Poetry Reading With a Prize-winning Irish Poet Peter Fallon

A prize-winning Irish poet Peter Fallon,whose recent poems have appeared in The Guardian (England) and The New York Times, will read his poetry and speak about The Gallery Press, Ireland's leading literary publishing company, which he founded when he was 18. 

'One of Ireland's greatest literary talents' - The Sunday Times, London

‘Care, company, community have been fundamental concerns of Peter Fallon’s writing in and about the world, care for people and place, for planet earth and the poetry of earth . . . and the seriousness of that caretaking has developed over the years to a point where the artistic and moral have converged.’ (Seamus Heaney)

Tonight at 7:30pm - FREE

The show will open with three local poets reading their own poetry.
