POETRY BUS MAGAZINE LIVE LAUNCH


Yes, folks, the earth used be flat then roundness was discovered,people used to walk miles to the next village to buy things, then Aston Martins were invented. Cyanide , lead and dog poo were used to clean teeth, then toothpaste was invented, people used to read boring poetry then THE POETRY BUS MAGAZINE was invented.

And to mark this huge leap forward for mankind we are having an entertainment EXTRAVAGANZA in The International Bar Wicklow Street Dublin Eiré and EVERYBODY is invited, so get yer coat, get walking, hop on a bicycle, a bus, a boat, a plane, a kangaroo, JUST GET THERE! Monday 8th November 8pm.

There will be freshley brewed Guinness* there will be music from the brilliant Colm ó Snodaigh of Kilá fame, there will be real live actual BUS POETS reading poems from THE POETRY BUS MAGAZINE including host Stephen James Smith, Mags Treanor, Pj Nolan (AKA Scalder), Niamh (various) Bagnell, Triona (Domestic Oubliette) Walsh, Kate (Emerging Writer) Dempsey, Carol Boland, Peadar (TotalFeckinEEjit) O'Donoghue and recently crowned All Ireland Poetry Slam Champion Colm Keegan.
Other things will also surely happen.

The old skool poetry book Soundings will also be revamped and re-launched with poets reading their fave old skool poems.

How much does this smorgesbord of entertainment cost? Is it €50 ? No! Is it €20? No !
not even 10 nor 5 nor 2 nor €1. All this is FREE!
Where else would ya get it!!??


The craic will be mighty, so be there on the nighty



*(other alcoholic products are also available) but they're not as nice.


The pic above is Butane Boy (copyright) by Colm Keegan and available as a FREE limited edition print with every copy of The Poetry Bus Magazine. Copies are still available but running low. BUY IT NOW. Buying the first issue is a vote for people poetry and a financial contribution to both the production of issue two, and the survival of this entirely unfunded adventure. Thank you.

I'm saving that little nugget Niamh!
And yeah, NO WAY I'd get up with proper lighting. I'm hoping it will be so dark even the audience won't be able to see me!
