Above:  James at Strokestown

       
    'Readings all today, ending with James Harpur and Ciaran Carson, both beautiful in quite different ways, Harpur melancholy, monastic, mystical, like prayers shaped out of despair with the hearsay of some small light just over the horizon.'

- George Szirtes on the Strokestown International Poetry Festival, 2008
