Oranmore Library Poetry Reading Group will present a poetry reading on Thursday 12th of September at 7.30pm.

The readers who are from the Galway area will read from the second edition of possibly the most interesting poetry magazine being currently published in Ireland—Skylight 47. The local produced publication takes a newspaper format and includes reviews, comments and new poems from local, national and international writers.
