It’s a picture of me reading again. This time, I was reading at the Carlow Arts Festival with the Carlow Writers’ Cooperative. The show was recorded by KCLR and will be podcasted this weekend. I hope I’ll be able to upload the audio here. 

The evening featured 12 writers who performed all sorts of writing including poetry, short stories and drama. I performed 4 poems based on a typical Irish childhood with a Jewish twist. They cover a Jewish grandmother, an innocent(?) classroom game, secrets and learning about the Holocaust. We had some excellent musical accompaniment from David Ayres and Ken Nolan, who played straight after me as I probably depressed everyone!
