SWERVE arranges readings in a variety of venues, e.g. TSUNDOKU Art Book Fair, Dublin, De Barra’s Spoken Word, Clonakilty.
Mainly though, we hold our live readings at THE LIT LOUNGE here in Skibbereen for Ireland-based writers and audience and THE LIT LOUNGE ONLINE, a Zoom reading space, for our international writers and audience.
WHAT IS THE LIT LOUNGE?
THE LIT LOUNGE is SWERVE’s dedicated performance space for live readings of poetry and prose situated in the attic library of our HQ in Skibbereen.
Writers are invited to share their work in front of an attentive and engaged audience. THE LIT LOUNGE is an intimate and welcoming space with seating for up to 15 audience members. The readings are informal and relaxed.
