THE 45th edition of one of Ireland’s longest running literary journals, ‘The Stony Thursday Book‘, has been launched by the Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Gerald Mitchell.

Founded in 1975 by Limerick poets John Liddy and Jim Burke, the book has become a cornerstone of Ireland’s literary landscape.

This edition showcases a diverse collection of poetry curated by editor Christodoulos Makris, a trailblazer in experimental poetry.

Under his guidance, the 2023 edition embraces innovation and unconventional forms.

Makris has carefully selected 65 works from over 35 poets, creating a unique collection of poetic exploration.
