Poet Gene Barry reading at the White House, Limerick

The White House Poetry Revival has being going now for over four years. Every Wednesday the famous old world bar is transformed into a centre of culture as poets recite their latest work. Barney Sheehan and Dominic Taylor , the people behind the revival of poetry at the White House, continue to attract the best of Irish and International poetry to Limerick. The reading has provided an open, supportive venue for countless poets to perform their work, and has fostered a community of poetry. Over the last four years the reading has grown, evolved and matured. We are proud to have provided an open-mic for poets from all over Ireland, Europe and the world: from Buddy Wakefield to Greg Delanty to hundred of others you have never heard, but should have. The reading continues to grow and change and we would invite you to come down, to listen - and should the mood strike you - to speak.
The White House Poets would like to acknowledge the involvement of the Arts Council, Poetry Ireland, Foras na Gaeilge, Limerick City Council, http://www.limerick.com/ and the White House Bar for their continued support, all of whom helped make the White House one of the pre eminent venues for poetry in Ireland. As usual the reading is preceded by an open mic session in which anyone who wishes to read is invited to do so. Complementary finger food is provided and proceeding commence at 9.00 pm.

hey irishman high five for the info. surfed this dude on google man all I got was some old actor. whats the story man

[maccarthyeoin]

yes he is Irish and is a well regarded poet in Ireland. I was at one of his readings at the Unitarian Church in Cork last year and it was a blast. All of the poems that he read were about family. There was a lot of people crying. His poetry can really move you. I think that this poet has a family poem for everyone.

I had a few words with hi and he is a really nice man. I know that he has a lot of published poems but I don't know their names, why not Google his name and see.All the best
