Gaza

A great evening of poetry, food, conversation among the good people of North Wicklow in support of Palestine. I read my poem (see my blip of 5th Nov last); we shared tasty food and then viewed an exhibition of artwork by Palestinian artist. My blip is the art I bought and it will hang in my sitting room in support of that cause.

There was an optional viewing of this

which I have seen before so I left at 9.

It was a very enjoyable evening.

The event took place in the Old School House in Enniskerry. They run art and sculpture classes throughout the year in this quaint country village in Wicklow. See here

Here is one of the many poems read by this poet

I’m just home and I’m buzzing. It was an uplifting and inspiring evening.
