The Imperial Hotel, Eyre Square, once again plays host to a reading for the Western Writers' Centre of major Irish poet, LELAND BARDWELL. The Reading is sponsored by Poetry Ireland.

LELAND BARDWELL was born in India, grew up in Leixlip, Co Kildare and was educated in Dublin and London. As a fiction writer she has published five novels, the most recent being Mother to a Stranger (2002), as well as a volume of short stories, Different Kinds of Love (1986); as a playwright she has had work produced by RTÉ and the BBC, and her stage credits include No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf (1984) and Jocasta (2001). Since her first collection of poems The Mad Cyclist appeared in 1970, she has published three further collections, The Fly and the Bedbug (1984), Dostoevsky's Grave (Dedalus, 1993) and The White Beach (1998). A co-editor of the long-running literary magazine Cyphers, Leland Bardwell is a member of Aosdána and lives in Co. Sligo. In 2006 the Dedalus Press published her latest collection of poems, The Noise of Masonry Settling.

"She is the doyenne of women poets writing in English. Her work has humour and wit... It has the immediacy of personal conversation, yet is crafted with care for form. She makes something extraordinary of 'ordinary' experience"
—Irish Press

"Leland Bardwell's poetry is witty, full of sharp, intimate honesty, full of truth and surprises. She is a poet who has felt the shocks of our time, the private impacts and the historic changes"
—Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin

"We are delighted to have a writer of Leland's stature read for us," said the Centre's Director, Fred Johnston. "Once again, we must thank the staff and management of The Imperial Hotel, Galway, and Poetry Ireland. We are delighted also to see that other groups have followed our lead and now show the Poetry Ireland logo on Indymedia for sponsored events."

Leland Bardwell's reading starts at 8pm. Details from the Western Writers' Centre (Marvelle Maguire).
