Clare Three-Legged Stool was founded in 2003 to celebrate the poetic work of men and women from North, South, and East - the three "halves" of Clare. There are at present some 16 members in the group which, to date, has produced two anthologies, a broadsheet, and Hidden Burren, a photographic essay on North Clare by Ilsa Thielen accompanied by verse. Two other calendars, one on East and one on West Clare, are planned following the same poetry-craft mix.
Following the success of last Winter's monthly "Open Mic" sessions, Clare Three-Legged Stool Poets are delighted to confirm a new season of readings for Winter 2009-2010 in Glór on the third Saturday of every month starting October 2009 and running on until May 2010.
