Another 50th year celebration....Stony Thursday was founded by John Liddy and Jim Burke in 1975 and they returned as editors for the 2025 50th Anniversary Edition
The Stony Thursday Book 50 was launched at the Belltable in Limerick during Storm Claudia on Friday 14th Nov 2025. There was beverage and food and great camaraderie among all the contributors and supporters of this much loved Stony Thursday Book. Almost 50 contributors read their work on the night to a packed auditorium.
I am delighted to have my poem 'Predator' included in this special edition.
Thanks to the editors, John Liddy & Jim Burke, Etain Cooey, Arts Officer, and to Limerick City & County Council for their support of this publication.
There is a wonderful documentary on John Liddy by Dominic Taylor on YouTube.
