Heritage Sunday. Poetry Ireland in association with The Heritage Council of Ireland have an impressive list of poets lined up for the 29th of this month at the visitor centre on The Hill of Tara. Colm Toibin, Paul Muldoon, Michael longley, Seamus Heaney, Susan McKeown, Laoise Kelly and others are mentioned on their site, though The Meath Chronicle only mentions some of the above, but sure you'd be doing well if you only caught one of them. On the Poetry Ireland site there is also a list of audio and video files that might be worth checking out. Rainy day and in need of some entertainment, or good writing! I managed to catch some of the above last year, and the visitor centre, or the Hill of Tara itself are worth a visit anytime. Also before I finish, there's news of a poetry competition in Castlecomer, details of which can be found over on Michael Farry's site or go to "Ask About Writing". Just click on the links opposite!

If I'm back in the country in time that Sunday I'd love to check this out. I visited Tara again on Sunday evening, such a magical place.
Many thanks for comment there. Hope you enjoy the trip abroad.
