Over The Edge presents readings by Orla Higgins, Cahal Dallat, Moya Roddy and Kate Dempsey.
Orla Higgins lives in Galway and recently graduated with an MA in Writing from NUIG. She won the Over the Edge New Fiction Writer Competition in 2009 for Thin Blue Line and her work has been published in Ropes and Crannóg. Orla was also a featured reader at the Over The Edge Emerging Writers Showcase at the 2009 Cúirt International Festival of Literature.
Cahal Dallat, poet, musician and critic, was born in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim in 1953. He studied at Queen’s University Belfast and now lives in London where he reviews for several publications including the Times Literary Supplement and has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Review since its inception in 1998. He won the Strokestown International Poetry Competition in 2006 and his latest collection is The Year of Not Dancing (Blackstaff Press, 2009).
Moya Roddy, better know perhaps for her fiction and scriptwriting, will read from her poetry on the night.
Kate Dempsey is originally from Coventry and now lives with her family in Maynooth, Co.Kildare where she teaches creative writing to children and adults. Her poetry and fiction have been widely published in Ireland and the UK including in THE SHOp, Poetry Ireland Review, Stony Thursday, Abridged, Orbis, Newleaf and Revival among others. Kate loves to blur the wobbly boundaries between page and stage, particularly with the Poetry Diva Collective who read at festivals and events countrywide.
All welcome.
