What a weekend! 9 poets from Cork and about the same from Limerick converged on the West Dingle peninsula only to be met by two score more of local fil&iacute; and storytellers. After a first-rate appraisal workshop with Gabriel FitzMaurice on Saturday afternoon, everyone settled in for a meal and an evening of Mighty Craic, including a fiery three hour open-mic session, emceed by Domhnall MacS&iacute;thigh and M&aacute;ir&iacute;n Feirt&eacute;ar, herself a direct descendant of the original Ferriters who ruled the North Dingle peninsula from the 13th to the 17th Centuries. The poetry flowed non-stop as did various other liquid substances, and was followed by a late late oiche fada.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"silver\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" border=\"1\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/www.obheal.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/BallyferriterCoast.jpg\"\/><\/font><\/p>\n<p>The next morning (don&#8217;t ask) there were readings from local poets, from &#211; Bh&eacute;al and Limerick&#8217;s Whitehouse chaired by Ceait&iacute; N&iacute; Bheildi&uacute;in over in Dingle, after a tour of Harry Clarke&#8217;s church windows by Monseigneur P&aacute;draig &#211; Fiannachta (now retired). Well I for one didn&#8217;t want to leave, and I heard a few others say the same. Ballyferriter must be the perfect place for a new poetry retreat. Any takers out there?<\/p>\n<p>This elegant, heartening event, organised and hosted annually by poet and potter Louis Mulcahy, has etched its way firmly into my 2009 diary. Thanks Louis.
