Happy St. Patrick's Day. Being of Irish descent, we (LitNuts cofounders Mike O'Mary and Kathleen O'Mary Meyer) take pride in our literary heritage: Jonathan Swift, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, C.S. Lewis, Elizabeth Bowen, Molly Keane, Samuel Beckett, Iris Murdoch, Frank McCourt, Edna O'Brien, Seamus Heaney, Maeve Binchy, Roddy Doyle, etc. Is it any surprise we ended up publishing a newsletter about the written word?
Speaking of the written word...there's a great free online literary event this weekend: The Hudson Valley Writers Center presents An Afternoon of Poetry with Monica Youn and Joshua Bennett. Sunday, March 19, 4:00 p.m. EDT.
