Steve Luttrell, Publishing Editor of US-based poetry journal The Café Review since its founding in 1989, is guest poet at the White House Poetry Club in Limerick on Wednesday 18 May.

The Café Review is a premier poetry, art, and reviews journal of Portland, Maine (US), and it is making a journey to Ireland in tandem with the publication of a special issue celebrating Irish voices. The Café Review published its first issue celebrating Irish poets in 1997, featuring artwork by Hugh Lorigan and poems by Pat Boran and Theo Dorgan, among many others. This Spring's issue is entitled "a gathering of Irish voices", and features artwork by Liam and Nonie O'Neill, poetry by Brian Kirk, Paul Casey, Susan Millar DuMars, and work from many other esteemed contemporary writers.

Readings start at 9pm and there is the usual open mic.
