Friday June 29, 2007 12:37 by Western Writers' Centre - Western Writers' Centre - Ionad Scríbhneoiri Chaitlín Maud, Galway westernwriters at eircom dot net 34 Nuns Island, Galway 091.533594
Novelist Fred Johnston and playwright Gerry McDonnell for Westside Library Readings. Galway’s Westside Library are hosting two well-known writers for a reading on Tuesday 24th July, starting at 6.30. Admission to the readings is free. Fred Johnston was born in Belfast in 1951 and worked for many years as a journalist, chiefly with The Irish Press and in PR. In 1972 he received a Hennessy Literary Award. With Neil Jordan and Peter Sheridan, he founded the Irish Writers’ Co-operative in the mid-Seventies and moved to Galway in 1976, where he set up a ‘Galway Writers’ Workshop’ – not to be confused with the present organization – and published a broadsheet of poetry and prose, stapled, which he sold around the pubs and shops. In 1981 he received both The Sunday Independent Prose and Poetry Awards. In 1986 he founded Cúirt, Galway’s annual literature festival. He was writer-in-residence to Galway City Library in 1988. The author of four novels and eight collections of poetry, his plays have been performed in Dublin and one in Galway. He teaches Creative Writing at NUIGalway as part of the Adult and Continuing Education Programme. Six years ago he started up the Western Writers’ Centre – Ionad Scríbhneoirí Chaitlín Maud – which is the only such centre West of the Shannon. One of its first tasks was to try to set up a writers’ group for the Westside area. In 2002 he received a Prix de l’Ambassade to translate the poetry of Michel Martin. His novel, ‘The Neon Rose,’ was recently published in the UK by Bluechrome and his new collection of poems, ‘The Oracle Room,’ will be published in the UK in September. He has written widely for radio, for RTE and the BBC World Service. He has reviewed books and visual art for Harpers & Queen, The Sunday Times, The Irish Times, among others. |
