In this episode we celebrate our Open Mic Socials, which take place every month in our Kilrush shop.  These events are open to all, and there's no pressure on anyone to read (although we love to hear your work). Good listeners are an important part of our supportive, creative community too.

As we are not meeting in person again until February, here is a virtual version for you to enjoy, featuring poems by some of our regular readers, and some of our host poets.  If you enjoy their work, and you think that you might like to come along in the future, please drop us a line at events@bannerbooks.ie to join our mailing list and get all the details.
