A Celebration of Words, Music, and Hope
The Wordsmith Writers, a creative collective based at Teac Mallon, Meigh, South Armagh, are proud to announce the Dublin launch of their new anthology, Harvest the Light, at the Irish Writers Centre on Wednesday 19th November 2025 at 6.30pm.
This special evening will feature live readings, music, and song, celebrating the power of storytelling and community in aid of suicide and self-harm prevention.
About Harvest the Light
Harvest the Light is a vibrant collection of prose, poetry, and photography created by eleven local writers who meet regularly in Teac Mallon. The anthology shines a light on the people, places, and landscapes of Oriel, southeast Ulster, and the foothills of Slieve Gullion, weaving together humour, memory, nostalgia, and reflection.
The Wordsmiths – Brigid Brady, Eileen Beamish, Liz McMonagle, Mairead Breen, Marcella McBride, Matt McEvoy, Mary Cunningham, Paddy Creedon, Patrick Murray, Rosemary Tumilty, and Sinead Mitchell – are supported by fellow writer Rosaleen Farrell.
Their readings on the night will pay tribute to the area’s rich oral storytelling tradition and the enduring strength of community spirit.
