The Meath Writers' Circle is launching a book to mark the centenary of the the 1916 Rising although the material included covers the period from 1914 to the present day. The venue is the Trim Castle Hotel on Thursday the 3rd of March at 8 pm and everyone is welcome to attend. The night will include a mixture of music, poetry and song and the book will retail at €10. The cover photo above is of Cúchulainn and Ferdia, Ardee County Louth and is by the Kells artist and sculptor Ann Meldon Hugh, while the photos back are of a special ten shilling coin that was issued in 1966 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Rising and was kindly donated by Noel French of The Meath Heritage Centre. The book will hopefully bring a little insight and reminder into what were troubled times while giving others the chance to look back or reflect on what might or could have been. Contributors' copies will be at the door, so if you have an article or poem included, be sure to ask. Hope to see you there.
