White House Poetry, 10th Feb 2010


What: Poetry reading with special guest poet Robin Parmar

When: Wednesday, 10th February 2010, 9.30pm

Where: The White House pub, O'Connell Street, Limerick


After an excellent night with Mark Whelan, in which the crowd were treated to something very different to the usual, we welcome Robin Parmar, originally from Canada and now settled in limerick, next to the reading series. Here's a little bit about Robin, and a link to his website should anyone want to check out some of the projects he is involved with.


Robin Parmar is a composer, sound artist, writer, designer, curator, theorist and photographer. Recent credits include a paper on Doctor Who (Cardiff, Wales), the performance of "The Absence of Baudrillard" at "Die Gegenwart Von Jean Baudrillard" (Mainz, Germany), the premiere of the soundscape composition "The Garden Of Adumbrations" (Limerick, Ireland) and a chapter in the book "Framemakers: Choreography As An Aesthetics Of Change". His poetry has been published in Australia, Ireland and Canada. Robin was invited guest to the Brighton Poetry & Book Festival 2005 and was on the Irish team for the Hammer & Tongue International Slam Competition in Oxford. He was joint-editor for two anthologies and co-authored a study on hypertext fiction.

As ever the night will be complete with the open-mic reading, for all and everyone. If you feel like reading, please do - we want to hear! If you come to listen then that's just fine too.


Admittance to the event is of course free, and compliments of the White House proprietor, finger food shall be provided.


Hope to see you all there - it promises to be a great night!!
