Limerick Writers' Centre
Добавлен 2 окт 2009
The Limerick Writers’ Centre, now based at The Umbrella Project, 78 O’Connell Street in Limerick City, is a non-profit organisation established in 2008 and is one of the most active literary organisations in the country. We endeavour to bring ideas about books, literature and writing to as wide an audience as possible, and especially to people who do not feel comfortable in the more traditional arts/literature venues and settings.
At the Centre we share a belief that writing and publishing should be made both available and accessible to all; we encourage everyone to engage actively with the city’s literary community. We actively encourage all writers and aspiring writers, including those who write for pleasure, for poetic expression, for healing, for personal growth, for insight or just to inform.
The Director of the Centre is Dominic Taylor ably assisted by a board of directors and volunteers.
The centre can be contacted through its website:

Fabulous launch! ❤
Owen O Connor is a legend
Limerick is a very fine city and county in the west of Ireland and that is a fact, it has been responsible of hundreds of thousands of brilliant Limericks and long may that continue
#abronxsummer
Well done Thomas McCarthy
Bravo poets of Limerick and Ireland.
Fabulous
Congratulations Frances! Great novel indeed and Kieran’s speech was amazing
'Promo SM'
Always loved Richard Harris!
Marie. Congratulations. This book is a real treasure. Brigid F
Certainly was pleased to appear at the People's Museum in Limerick Ireland as Mark Twain. You certainly welcomed this Traveler! A salute to you all! Robert Alvey
Absolute gent played tennis with Dennis trickey little player .
Limerick was lucky to have Barney.
A fabulous launch night for a wonderful poet and story writer. Margaret is a rare treasure and proud to be from Tipperary. Well done to everyone.
Ah those were the days. What great times and friends. I feel privileged to have met so many like-minded poets and those interested in poetry though all the years at the Whitehouse. Even though some good friends have passed on - their words and memories live on. Well done Dominic for keeping it all going and continuing to do such great work for poetry in Limerick and surrounds.
Fantastic Kieran! ❤
Such great poetry submerges and soothes, seems to give life its form.
Fantastic!
Declan you legend!
Superb Kieran! You have chosen best of the best of your new collection! Love it 😍 ❤
Wonderful piece about Terry James. Such an inspirational man. Thank you.
Fabulous book launch, bravo dearest Kieran Beville! You are the best, honey❤
Brilliant presentation of an excellent book.
Ulysses is very, very difficult, don't be disingenuous. I've read the book six times, and there are still episodes that totally baffle me. And, I suspect, baffle all these 'experts' as well. Most of them just trot out the usual references and quotes, to give the impression that they totally 'get it'. Thurlow has little to offer. (What happened to Joyce's sisters, to take but one example.)

Oh my lord!! I had no idea that Jared Harris was the son of Richard Harris! I am genuinely shocked, taken aback, and above all, impressed! Another brilliant actor.
Actor, writer, singer, Rugby player, unbelievable raconteur and the coolest man who ever lived.
So nice to see this site. My mother passed away in 12/1979 and she always was a big fan of Richard Harris. I remember her buying I, in the Membership of My Days not long before she passed away. She had me watch Richard recite his poem Too many Saviors on my Cross. Will always remember those days.
beautiful performance, the sound quality is not ideal but what a musician!
The Bird in the Beret!

Many thanks Paul, thank you for all the support!
Well done Daragh, we're all very proud in the family!
A great launch Daragh, looking forward to getting a copy.
Comhghairdeas Darragh. I am looking forward to my copy arriving in the post from Limerick. A beautiful video to launch your volume. Having been on a zip line in recent years, I am looking forward to zipping slowly through the poems, and as Tom said, see where I land!!
Many thanks Donal.
