This week for our weekly reading series at the White House we welcome poet Gabriel Fitzmaurice. He will be reading a selection of his work and the night will be complete with an open-mic session as always in which anyone may read and is encouraged to do so. Admission is free and finger food is provided compliments of the White House proprietors.
Gabriel Fitzmaurice was born in Moyvane, Co. Kerry, in 1952. A former Chair and Literary Advisor of Writers' Week, the Writer's Conference in Listowel, he is the author of more than twenty books. They include poetry in both English and Irish, children's verse in English and Irish, essays and collections of songs and ballads.
Some of the collections he will read work from on the night are Rainsong, The Boghole Boys and The space Between: New and Selected Poems. He will also read newer and yet unpulished works.
An esteemed reader and performer of his work, Fitzmaurice was an award winner at the Gerard Manley Hopkins Centenary Poetry Competition and has twice represented Ireland at the European Festival of Poetry in Louvain, Belgium.
We hope to see you there for a greart evening of socialising and poetry.
