Biographie de LimerickWritersCentre

Publishing has played an important part in the life of the Limerick Writers' Centre with a number of major projects completed such as 'Kemmy's Limerick Miscellany' and 'Luaithreach Angela' - a translation of Frank McCourt's 'Angela's Ashes' into Irish. The centre also published an anthology on Limerick poet Michael Hartnett, titled 'I Live in Michael Hartnett', and a recent book 'The Curious Story of the Limerick' by Dr Matthew Potter tells of the connection between Limerick and the five line Limerick verse.
We also played an active in Limerick City of Culture and held a series of workshops for older people, the end product was an anthology of love stories called 'The Heart of Limerick' edited by Fiona Clark Echlin, Caroline Graham and Sheila Quealey. Our long running Revival Literary Journal alas is no more due to financial considerations it ceased publishing in December 2013 after 28 issues. The Centre, through it's imprint Revival Press, is also very active in publishing contemporary poetry, with over 50 titles published so far.
The Centre is also always available to give advice to anyone who wants to self-publish.
