3805 Locust Walk (between Walnut and Spruce)
University of Pennsylvania Campus
Philadelphia, PA
Monday, November 16, 2009, 6 – 8pm

A CELEBRATION OF POET THOMAS KINSELLA
with Thomas Kinsella, Thomas Devaney, John P. McNamee, Deborah Burnham, Deirdre Morris-Abrahamsson, Cara Bertron, Lee Huttner, Rivka Fogel, and Callie Ward
presented by Writers Without Borders
6:00 PM in the Arts Cafe
co-sponsored by: UPenn Rare Books and Manuscripts Library
Thomas Kinsella is one of a number of young Irishmen who began to write in the years following World War II, he has played a major role in invigorating the world of Irish verse. Kinsella began publishing poetry in the UCD magazine, the National Student, and in Poetry Ireland. His first collection, Poems (1956), came out with Miller's Dolmen Press, followed by Another September (1958); Moralities (1960); Downstream (1962); Wormwood (1966); and Nightwalker (1967). Kinsella quickly won recognition with awards from the Poetry Book Society (1958, 1962), the Guinness Poetry Award (1958) and the Denis Devlin Memorial Award (1967). In the 1980s, books like Her Vertical Smile (1985, Peppercanister) Out of Ireland (1987, Peppercanister) and St Catherine's Clock (1987, Peppercanister) marked a move away from the personal to a poetry including historical trends. His Collected Poems (University of Oklahoma) appeared in 1996 and again in an updated edition in 2001.

John P. McNamee, a Catholic Priest ordained May 1959, is a native of Philadelphia where he has served as a parish priest in the inner-city neighborhoods. His efforts on behalf of the poor include returning a Catholic Worker house to Philadelphia and organizing Catholic Peace Fellowship/Pax Christi. Father McNamee is the author of several books of prose and poetry which champion the cause of the poor, including Diary of a City Priest (1993), Clay Vessels and Other Poems (1995), and Endurance - The Rhythm of Faith (1996), all published by Sheed and Ward. Diary of a City Priest received the prestigious 1994 Catholic Press Association Book Award. A new book of poems, Donegal Suite, A Collection of Poetry was published in October 2006 by Dufour Editions, Chester Springs, PA.

Summary: Over the past three albums and five years, Toronto’s Celtic rock band Enter The Haggis has found itself at the center of a grassroots success story ever teetering on the brink of mainstream success. From playing Celtic festivals to headlining them, and from the festival circuit to selling out multiple nights in rock venues, ETH has blazed a path with heavy and almost constant touring up and down the East Coast, to Canada, the West Coast and back again, winning over success one fan, one town, one region at a time.
