The Women of Belfast
Tom will tell the story of the women who are buried in the graveyards of Belfast. The origins of this presentation lie in a talk he gave to the Women’s Institute in Andersonstown in 2014. In a discussion following, a woman in the audience told the meeting that when she got married, she felt she had disappeared. The presentation covers the story of women in institutions, important women in the shadow of important men, women from the arts, those who died during war and conflict, women from minority and immigrant communities, and poor women – all who contributed to the life of our city. Everyone welcome! t: 028 9050 9212 e:fallsroad.library@librariesni.org.uk

Launch of the long-awaited Belfast from Space: New and Selected Poems by award-winning Irish poet Martin Mooney Join award-winning Irish poet Martin Mooney to celebrate the publication of the long-awaited Belfast from Space: New and Selected Poems . The new book draws from more than 30 years of work by this distinctive voice in contemporary Irish poetry, from his debut Grub to 2011’s The Resurrection of the Body at Killysuggen , and beyond. If you were lucky enough to join us for last year’s launch of Mooney’s Nine Small Things , you’ll know to expect thought-provoking black humour, intense lyricism, a fierce engagement with ordinary speech and popular culture – oh, and possibly some 70s nostalgia and audience participation….
