CUISLE International Poetry Festival starts this evening.

Paul Muldoon & Nuala NiDhomhnaill are opening it.

Nuala I know from Listowel Writers’ Week 2007.  She led a poetry workshop I went to.  This will be my first chance to meet her since then, though we  had a little email contact.  Paul Muldoon I’ve never seen.

It’s a Wednesday, so it clashes with the White House Poets - the Barney Sheehan gig in White House pub on O’Connell Street Limerick.  Maybe the White House will be on after the 7pm launch.  Maybe Nuala & Paul could be enticed to read with the little people.  I haven’t looked up to see who’s guest in White House this evening.

I’ll keep you posted via Twitter.  You can follow me on Twitter by searching for @omaniblog.

Best thing to do is sign up to Twitter and see if you like it.
