This intimate literary event is the last event of the Blue Stacks Festival 09, and is based this year at the Sand House Hotel, Rossnowlagh, with its beauty, ambience and wild ocean waves, offering a wonderful setting for those who write and those who want to soak up the mixture of spoken word and music that Donegal has to offer.
We are extending the literary offerings to include Saturday, October 3rd, hosting a range of creative short story writing and poetry workshops to cover new and advanced writers, adults and juniors. On Saturday night we have an enjoyable open mic and music evening. We are delighted once again to host the successful Poetry Sunday afternoon with readings from local and visiting writers.
