Maverick

Maverick Press is an independent publisher based in Galway, aiming at bringing real poetry and literature to you, the real people, not you who, as Stephen Murray puts it, "are locked in the traditions of keeping poetry as your own obtuse literary fetish." ('Ode to the Publisher'.) At the moment we have four titles in print and have many more on the way. For samples of this work - The Looking Glass, by Stephen Murray, and Voicing the Bell, by Neil McCarthy, go to their myspace accounts below. The same applies to Mags Treanor's 'Two Night Stand' and Dave Lordan & Elaine Feeney's 'Indiscipline'. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- "The Voice and the Verse was brilliant. Like finding the best pub in Cork." The Prague Post-------------------------------------------------------- ------ The Voice & The Verse is an ongoing series of gigs that presents the best in cutting edge poetry and the best in lyrical songwriting performances to a listening crowd. It has been running in Ireland for over three years and featured at the 2007 Prague Fringe.----------------------------------------------------- --------The Poetry Slams for Schools Project is now well under way and involves bringing poetry workshops to younger students. The Grand Slam final will see contestants from many schools in Ireland competing against each other as part of the Cuirt International Festival of Literature.
