Invitation to a poetry reading near Boston
I would like to invite you to a poetry reading I am participating in that benefits Pieta House, an Irish suicide prevention service, on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 1 pm at the Arts for the Armory in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Nine poets (including me) will be reading from an anthology, Luminous Echoes, put together by poet Heath Brougher with the assistance of Into the Void, an Irish literary journal edited by Philip Elliot, for the benefit of Pieta House. Details below.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ATTENDING so that the organizers can get a sense of how many chairs to put out etc.
I know some of you are too far away to come or have other plans, but if you can’t make it and you’d like a copy of the anthology, you can order it for 8.5 euros (approximately 10 dollars US) using this link: http://intothevoidmagazine.bigcartel.com. The cost of shipping, which is included, is the only part of that fee that does not benefit Pieta House. You can also make a donation (without receiving the anthology) to Pieta House through the organization’s donation web page: http://www.pieta.ie/donate\.
Please spread the word—there’s a flyer below (jpeg file) you can post on social media or print out and post in a coffee shop or other venue.
Thanks!
