Poetry Reading at Inishbofin Library

As part of the Inishbofin Arts Festival award winning poet Yvonne Cullen will read from her own work and from the work of other poets in the local library at 5.30pm on Saturday May 12th 2007.

Yvonne Cullen's first short collection of poems, Invitation to the Air, won the American Ireland Fund Award at Listowel Writers' Week in 1997. Yvonne has won numerous other awards for her work. She has also won praise from the National Awards Council for her Writers' Workshop facilitation skills, and has been a regular Poetry Workshop leader for a number of years now. Born in Dublin, Yvonne Cullen trained as a barrister before giving up Law to become a full time writer and musician.

In order to provide opportunities for participation, after the reading there will be an Open Mic event. At this any visiting poets, aspiring poets, writers, and other performers are welcome to join us to share their work or art.
