Shrewsbury – An Irish poet, Michael Patwell, will be coming to the Shrewsbury Public Library Monday, Sept. 19, at 7 p.m., to read some of his own poetry. This special event is free and open to anyone interested.
Patwell was born in the Clonakilty area of County Cork, in the south of Ireland. While his ancestors have lived in Ireland for centuries, another branch of his family emigrated to the United States a couple of generations ago, and eventually settled right here in Shrewsbury. Patwell will be in town for a family reunion of sorts that weekend, and will regale guests with tales of the Old Sod.
So whether you'se of Irish descent or not, join the Shrewsbury Public Library, 609 Main St., for this special event, and enjoy the beauty of Irish poetry.
For more information, call the library at 1-508-842-0081 ext. 3.
