The Forge at Gort litfest takes place at the W.B.Yeats Suite of the Lady Gregory Hotel, Gort, Co. Galway, next Saturday, March 29th, starting at 12 noon. Among those reading are poet Patrick Deeley, playwright and poet Gerry McDonnell, poet and editor Seamus Cashman, poets Terri Murray, Mary Ellen Fean and Fred Johnston. Readings are admission free. We are grateful for subvention from AIB Gort and private contributors. Regrettably, neither Poetry Ireland nor The Arts Council would fund the festival on this its eighth outing. 12 noon - TERRI MURRAY and MARY ELLEN FEAN 1pm - GERRY McDONNELL and FRED JOHNSTON BREAK 3pm - SEAMUS CASHMAN 4pm - PATRICK DEELEY Teas and coffee will be available and there will be books for purchase. Discussion and questions are welcome. We are particularly grateful to the writers who, in spite of funding restrictions, offered to read and keep the festival going even in a reduced form.
