‘Literary Leafings’ event held at Roscommon Arts Centre

Pictured at the first ‘Literary Leafings with Louise G Cole’ event at Roscommon Arts Centre were Carol Beirne, Margaret Mugan, Louise G Cole, Lucy Guerin and Mary McCormack.

The first ‘Literary Leafings with Louise G Cole’ event at Roscommon Arts Centre took place a month after Storm Éowyn put paid to earlier plans.

Local writers who gathered at the reading had all been published in Autumn Leaves 5, the annual literary broadsheet published by Roscommon Arts Office, which Louise edited.

The next ‘Literary Leafings’ will be on Saturday, March 29th, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., when Louise’s guest will be short fiction writer Wayne Denniston. Wayne, who as well as having been published in Autumn Leaves, is a past winner of the New Roscommon Writing Award.

'Literary Leaves' is generously supported by Roscommon Arts Office, and offers a unique opportunity for local writers to showcase their poetry and prose in the welcoming performance space of Roscommon Arts Centre.

As well as Louise’s readings and those of her Autumn Leaves guests, there is a chance for others to join in through an open mic.

This series of monthly poetry and prose readings with Louise follows on from last year’s successful ‘Lunchtime Leaves’ sessions at Roscommon Arts Centre.
