Thursday, 15th February at 9pm in BK's Winebar.

Just when you thought it was safe! You thought he had gone away.

He's back!

After the extraordinary success of his first Salmon collection:

"The Boy With No Face"

Kevin Higgins, that master of the poetic jugular, is gearing himself up for a mighty second collection.

We catch up with him on Thursday 15th Feb. at BK's,
one week before he flies out to California
to read at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles
in the University's Annual Irish Cultural Festival.

MC for the evening is Gary King, the man who knows Kevin better than (almost) anyone.

The North Beach Poetry Nights' Slam follows the usual format.
Readers / performers / poets wishing to participate are asked to bring along two 3 minute original pieces. Newcomers are particularly welcome. Juries will be selected on the night from the audience. The prize is the honour and a bottle of wine generously donated by BK's.

Place: BK's Winebar, Spanish Parade, Galway
Time: 9pm
Door: 4 Euro
