A special Over The Edge reading in conjunction with Away with Words, the Galway based creative writing programme for people with intellectual disabilities, will take place on Thursday, November 28th, 6.30-8pm in Galway City Library. All are welcome to attend.


The Away with Words writers will read their poems and stories and the Away With Words creative writing tutors Mary Madec, Kevin Higgins & Susan Millar DuMars will also read from their own published books of poetry and short stories.



At the end of the evening there will be an open-mic in which anyone may participate.
