Last winter the Committee met and discussed ideas for a 2022 festival theme. With the passing of our friend & literary advisor, Brendan Kennelly, it felt appropriate to reflect on Brendan’s poetry. His poem, ‘Begin’ had been a favourite for so many of us and the last line of that poem - ‘We forever begin’ was a perfect way to celebrate both Brendan & Writers’ Week. We are very grateful to the Brendan Kennelly Trust for allowing us to adopt this line as our 2022 theme ❤️ #ListowelWritersWeek2022
