New poems by Miceál Kearney, Alan Jude Moore and Liam Duffy have now been added. They can be viewed at http://overtheedgeliteraryevents.blogspot.com/2009/07/d....html
There is an article about our poems in opposition to the new blasphemy law campaign in today's Galway Advertiser http://www.advertiser.ie/galway/article/15173
Having looked at this poetry blog I see that only big names are allowed. Which is fine to a point except that it gives no encouragement to the ordinary street poets who write from the heart.
This exemplifies the narrow culture and snobbish values, that prevail in most of the poetry organisations that exist on the off shore islands of Europe.
I am not condenming the known poets, but surely there is room for the unknown street poet to be given a chance to express themselves if only to give them encouragement ?
Why pander only to a certain few ? Is there no value in what others experience and express in prose ?
submissions are welcome from everyone; e-mail poems to over-the-edge-openreadings@hotmail.com
I can't remember who said it, but there was an American writer who claimed
Blasphemy was a "victimless crime". ;)
