Spend a twilight evening of poetry, song and stories of resistance while looking towards a New Ireland.
Join us in the Women's Garden of Reflection at the Roddy McCorley Heritage Centre, nestled on the Glen Road in the shadow of Black Mountain. This year's theme is Irish unity and the land that holds us.
Hosted by the Roddy McCorley Society and Siobhán McCallin, the evening will feature special guest readers alongside an open mic session. Those wishing to participate are invited to submit a poem, song or excerpt in advance.
Free event. No registration required.
