About the Event
Tuesday, October 24, 2023, 7:00 - 7:45 p.m. Featured Guest: Rosaleen Crowley
Rosaleen Crowley, A.A. Higher Diploma on Education. ALCM (Speech and Drama) Gold Medal, Speaking of Verse and Prose (LAMDA) was born and educated in Cork, Ireland. A graduate of University College Cork, she is a Poet, Artist, and Educator. Rosaleen now lives and works in Zionsville, Indiana USA and Youghal, Co Cork, Ireland. She is owner of Roscro and Co, LLC and Co-Founder of Carmel Creative Writers, Inc. She is a Board Member of Brick Street Poetry, Inc.
Rosaleen plans to read from her latest book Of Land and Poetry:Â Ireland
This is Rosaleen’s second compilation of poems. Of Land and Poetry: Ireland pays homage to the land of Rosaleen’s birth, Ireland.
These poems about memory, nature, distance and culture will inspire you to ask yourself about identity, belonging and cultural differences. Some poems were written in Ireland, others were written from a distance. It is this experience of living on two continents that shapes Rosaleen’s view of the world.
7:45-9 p.m. Open Mic reading
