** Dubylon: A Tower of Verse

Book Launch – James Joyce Centre

————————————————————
The James Joyce Centre is proud to host the launch of Dubylon: A Tower of Verse on Monday, November 20th at 7pm. Dubylon is part of an ongoing intercultural writing programme that seeks to give voices to the many tongues and traditions that are part of Dublin’s conversations in the 21st century. A part of the Intercultural Language Service’s storytelling project which began in 2017, the book provides a space for diverse people to share how they see, feel, and live in the city which is their home. In the words of Dubylon facilitator, poet Fiona Bolger, it is a “translational/national, lingual project where we will be rooting ourselves in the language and poetry of Dublin while reaching across the waters and world to bring fresh phrases to the project.”
Dubylon is a collection of poems written by Dubliners from all over the world: Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Malawi, and Brazil, among other countries. The event will be brought to life with multilingual readings from the poets and musical interludes.
The event is free but booking is essential.

Theatre Reading – James Joyce Centre
** 21 November 2023 at 7pm
————————————————————
Join us at the James Joyce Centre for a rehearsed reading and post-performance discussion of The Last Dance of Lizzie Moore, a new play by Daniel Seery, performed by Hidden Skirts Theatre Company on Tuesday, November 21st at 7pm.
A traffic accident on Fleet Street leaves two colleagues who have differing accounts of their time with the victim — and the secrets kept in the battered case she won’t let out of her sight.
The reading will be about 45 minutes long followed by a Q&A. Tickets are free but booking is essential.
Hidden Skirts are a Dublin-based theatre company, that makes theatre inspired by the city and its people. Ciara and Anto have worked together since 2020 when they met on the documentary O’Casey in the Estate. Since then they have been writing and performing original pieces of work including their new play The Last Dance of Lizzie Moore by Daniel Seery.
Daniel Seery’s short stories have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies and he was a winner in the Irish Writers’ Centre Novel Fair Competition. He lives in Dublin with his wife and two daughters. His first book was called A Model Partner.
The James Joyce Centre is delighted to support new Irish writers, playwrights, and artists. The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

King’s Inns on Henreitta Street Dublin 1

As he sat at his desk in the King’s Inns he thought what changes those eight years had brought. The friend whom he had known under a shabby and necessitous guise had become a brilliant figure on the London Press. He turned often from his tiresome writing to gaze out of the office window. The glow of a late autumn sunset covered the grass plots and walks.
A Little Cloud, Dubliners
A special walking tour based on the Dubliners story “A Little Cloud.” Join tour guide Andrew Basquille as he brings you through Dublin along the same route that Little Chandler takes in the story. Andrew will explain the story as well as the history of the various locations mentioned.
The tour is on November 30th and starts in front of the King’s Inns on Henrietta Street at 3:45pm. The event is free. No booking is required.
The James Joyce Centre makes great effort to keep our events free and open to the public. We rely upon public and private donations in order to do so. We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider making a donation.
