Member news - Arthur Broomfield publishes with Lapwing Press

Congratulations to Writing4all Member, Arthur Broomfield, whose poetry collection, The Poetry reading at Semple Stadium is being published by Lapwing Press this coming June. 

The launch of the book takes place in the County Hall, Portlaoise, on Thursday, June 16 (Bloom's day) at 7.30 pm.

Distinguished prize-winning poet, Jean O'Brien, will be on hand to do the honours.

Refreshments will be served and all are very welcome. As a Beckett scholar, Arthur's poems go to the fringe of 'things' and back again, and the launch should be an entertaining and intriguing experience.

This is absolutely brilliant news, Arthur. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I won't be able to get to the launch but hope that you have a great day and make lots of sales.

Thank you so much Aine and Tommy. How wonderful that you should remember  'The poetry reading...' Tommy. It was the first poem I had published and it's been published  many places since. It all began with a  literary group we  got going in Portlaoise round about 1985 and I've been at it ever since.  This is a collection of the 'best ' of them.

Wonderful news Arthur!! Terrific. I'll see you there!

Oh great !Many thanks.

Brilliant News Arthur!

Many thanks Marie, I think it will go well. I did an interview on Midland 103 last night and  it seems to have gone down ok. We are expecting a good turnout, so fingers crossed.
