I was looking forward to Paula Meehan’s reading in the National Gallery here in Dublin today at 1pm, but I just couldn’t get myself into gear. Damn! Sorry Paula. I’m sure it was jammed, knowing your fanbase of old.

And then one of my cousines, Marie-Claire, rang me to let me know of an interesting event at the Alliance Française, also here in Dublin. Can’t go to that, either… but this is for you Francophiles who are also SFTB readers…

Les Poètes de Philippe Noireaut

Les Poètes was created for Radio Canada and celebrates diverse eras and styles, from very well-known poets (Rimbaud, Baudelaire) to others long forgotten. This recital has one key element: the pleasure of discovering and re-reading texts which show us just how universal the human experience is.

Wednesday 18 February at 8pm, Admission: Members €5 Non-members €10
Alliance Française, with the support of the Canadian Embassy
