Readings of Dream Songs and Competition News


There will be a reading from the new anthology of dream songs, Berryman’s Fate: A Centenary Celebration, edited by Philip Coleman and published by Arlen House, on Wednesday 24 September at 6.30pm in the Irish Writers’ Centre. The anthology presents dream songs by a host of well-known contemporary poets; it will be very interesting to see the varying approaches to Berryman's innovative format (if you can call it a format). 
It will be formally launched in October at two Berryman centenary conferences in TCD and in Minneapolis. Other North American and UK launches are being planned.
