Launch of All Strangers Here!

Launch of 'All Strangers Here'.

A treasure trove of poetry and storytelling brought to my attention by Jim Owens of the An Tobar poetry group, Navan. Especially liked the pieces about Daniel Binchy and Seamus Heaney's reading the Scots Gaelic poem on the 'Highland Clearance'. The above certainly beats most of what's on television and the quality of the presentation with regard to the material in the book is excellent, though the video editing could have included a table of contents and the names of the speakers when they were on camera. That said settle in for some entertainment. Loaded by the Museum of Literature, Ireland and with thanks.
