6th Bloomsday Bathe on the Beach, Malaga – Spain. http://www.rogercummiskey.com/bloomsday-2016/ 6th Bloomsday Bathe on the Beach, Malaga – Spain. For the sixth year we are planning a simple reading, swim or paddle off the beach on Bloomsday this year on  Thursday, 16th June .  What makes our event a little different is that the readers are encouraged to read their pieces in their own language.

A place which seems to be bursting at the seams with poets, novelists and playwrights, who all seem to have been gifted with an incredible innate sense of storytelling and drama. If you were to check the list of Nobel Prize winners since it’s inception, you’d find that Ireland ranks eighth in terms of how many it has produced over the years. Just what is it that makes the Irish so good at writing and the creative process?
