Revival Press, as part of April is Poetry Month in Limerick,
is pleased to announce the launch of
LOOK IN
By Michael Durack
LOOK IN is a new collection of poetry by Michael Durack and it takes place Friday 17th April in The People’s Museum of Limerick, 2 Pery Square, Limerick at 7.30pm.
The book is published by Revival Press, an imprint of The Limerick Writers’ Centre, under their Community Publishing initiative and will be launched by poet and writer Edward O’Dwyer. All are welcome to attend.
LOOK IN is a book written by someone who loves poetry’s toolkit — rhyme, refrain, metre, inherited forms, musicality — and who also loves the worlds that shaped him: pop music, sport, Irish rural life, film, childhood, and the long shadow of history. Michael Durack is a poet who knows his world, and knows how to bring both to the page with clarity and affection.
