The seventh installment of Live Giants will feature Mairéad Byrne, a va-va-voom poet and professor and all-around great person. She will be the first in the series with an accent.

Her latest book, The Best of (What’s Left of) Heaven, was just released by Publishing Genius.

Her earlier book, Talk Poetry, had me in stitches, but when I saw her read from it in Chicago I was like, what, wait, these prose poems is kinda sad.

Tune in next Thursday, July 29, at 9pm to find out if it will be funny or sad or what-all. No cover.
