SUMMARY:Open Mic Social hosted by Frank Golden
DESCRIPTION:The monthly open mic social at our Kilrush shop is a free event\, open to all.\nFor lovers of poetry\, flash fiction and any kind of creative writing. Come to read from your own work or to share a favourite piece by another writer\, or come to listen and support.\nTea\, coffee\, and treats provided.This is a free event\, but there will be a ‘Tip Jar’ if you would like to donate towards expenses.\nPoet Frank Golden has also published two novels\, and has received numerous bursaries\, awards\, and residencies. He lives in the Oughtmama Valley\, County Clare.\nHe will be reading from ‘IF YOU TOLERATE THIS’\, his sixth collection of poems.\nIF YOU TOLERATE THIS is a wide ranging work in six parts which nails its geo-political colours to the mast\, and casts a misanthropic eye over the whole morass. Failure and the blighted realities of both entitled and marginalised lives suffuse sections of the book devoted to Fordlandia\, Henry Ford\, lives in states of crisis in Central America and the Middle East. Poems concerned with eco dynamics not only dominate section 5 but inform the book as a whole. IF YOU TOLERATE THIS ends with poems that Golden wrote as he back-packed through Iran in 2019\, together with a poem that admixes the death of Gaddafi and the experiences of the poet’s father in Libya during the Second World War. This is a book with a large cast of characters\, both familiar and new\, who are as riven and corruptive as the age we live in.\nPraise for Golden’s last book of poems\, ‘GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU’ (SalmonPoetry)\n“Golden is a poet to get excited about… This is a startling and exciting collection.”Afric McGlinchy/Southward Journal\n“I have rarely been so moved by a book of poems.” Grace Wells/Fur\n“A fantastic new collection by Irish poet Frank Golden. It has floored me like no book of poetry has in a long time. Golden has an uncanny ability to touch on the things that move us most deeply.” Phil Hanrahan/Bookish Review
