The official launch of The Cathach will take place on monday 21st September 2009 at 4pm in Sligo Central Library. All are welcome to attend.
The aim of this Journal has been to create a new place for writing and painting, a kind of virtual Reading Room or Annexe off Sligo County Library where readers can come to find new work from writers both familiar and unfamiliar. In the same way as the browsing of a library shelf provides surprise encounters, The Cathach brings together fiction and non-fiction, poetry and drama, as well as a pictorial essay in portraiture. It includes both Irish and international writers, prize-winning authors alongside some whose work is being published for the first time. All of the authors included in The Cathach have given their work freely. It has been our aim to present it in a way that complements that generosity, and with the hope that it will lead you to further reading of their work.
This journal is part of the continuing support for Literature of Sligo County Library, without which it would not exist.
