Census 2- The Second Seven Towers Anthology |
|
(Yes, we are rather excited indeed....) NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER
In many ways the Census Anthologies (Census 1 and Census 2 ) - typify what Seven Towers are about. these are writers and aritsts originally seen performing live and now anthologised into this, our second volume, are a selection writing and writers 'on the scene', including some of the very best. These are people one can catch at little or no cost, save well spent time, in many of the literary and non literary venues around Dublin, New York, UK. - literally wherever. Census is a quick sounding of what is a veritable roll call of talent out there, artistic performance without distinctions, people of all kinds turning up and reading at these venues, and for the most part you can attend and listen without having to perform - at a fraction of the cost to go see a live show (usually but not always, there is no cover charge, though the hosts encourage you to buy a drink and check out the books on sale - 7 Towers usually don't charge) So, our vision is this: Every so often 7 Towers collates and anthologizes these events into a book (this one has 57 witers for instance), making for eclectic vistas of syles, perspectives, and writing disciplines, what one might call a refreshing reading experience, a snapshot of the kinds of talents you can meet, probably at your doorstep, certainly at many of the well run open mics and blossoming literary scenes going on right now. Go click the "read more" link to see the full list of poets and writers in this second Census Anthology Or b etter still buy one - its excellent - and it helps us publish more inspiring and gifted artists - we're not for profit (and kinda shameless I guess) Dont be shy PRICE E12.99 Order here |
