Unlocking Innermost Thoughts with Andrew Beattie

Linen Hall Library 17 Donegall Square North, Belfast, United Kingdom

In his second outing, Andrew Beattie captures the inner conflict of the mind through poetry. This unique collection of poems engages with reality, hidden behind the facade of world ideology. The irony is reflected in isolation caused by a detachment from society.

A Dress for Kathleen

Dirty Linen: The Troubles in My Home Place

The Linen Hall 17 Donegall Square North, Belfast, United Kingdom

Join us for the launch of Dirty Linen, Martin Doyle’s latest book. Martin offers a personal, intimate history of the Troubles seen through the microcosm of a single rural parish, his own, part of both the Linen Triangle – heartland of the North’s defining industry – and the Murder Triangle – the Badlands devastated by paramilitary violence. He lifts the veil of silence drawn over the horrors of the past, recording in heartrending detail the terrible toll the conflict took – more than twenty violent deaths in a few square miles – and the long tail of trauma it has left behind.

£4.00 – £6.50
