SAMHAIN @ SULT (Kildare): “Mantles” Public reading 24 Nov 21

I was delighted Sult Artists invited me to read from Mantles on 24th November at 7pm in SULT Gallery in Boland’s, Market Square, Kildare Town,  R51V267.

Join me for the first public reading from Mantles: Encountering Brigid published by Arlen House (cover painting by Margo McNulty) and for live music from Kildare musician James Blennerhasset. And of course, come for the wonderful art by the Kildare Collective of artists – Sult.

To book your place, RSVP to sultartists@gmail.com, including your telephone number.

This is the first of a series of readings to mark the publication of Mantles. This book is the third and final part of the Creative Ireland funded (Kildare County Council and Roscommon County Council) collaboration with artist Margo McNulty.

KRF 2021: MANTLES Webinar

Kildare Readers Festival Logo

This year I was awarded a Creative Ireland Bursary (Kildare County Council) with Margo McNulty (Roscommon County Council), to work on our collaboration Mantles which explored Brigid through place, symbols, artefacts and heritage.

On Tuesday October 5th at 2pm, Margo and I talk with Clodagh Doyle (Keeper, Irish Folklife Division, National Museum of Ireland), about our extensive research including the use of public archives and artefacts, and our image and word making. Margo will discuss some of her images in detail and I will give two short readings from my writing on Brigid.
