JOYICITY: The Bloomsday Newsletter 
Vol. 4 March 17th, 2017 

Dear Joyceans,

Happy St. Patrick's day!

Since it's green season we would like to share an important cause with you; it's an initiative to overhaul the only Irish famine memorial in Montreal, and transform the area into a beautiful park. But we'll need your help. Read the article to find out how you can help this important cause.

On a sad note, Frank Delaney passed away in February. We'd like to introduce his popular podcast to you: Re: Joyce. It's one that many of us have enjoyed listening to over the years and we're sure you'll like it too.

We'll also tell you about a rare and expensive book you can actually buy, or perhaps you'd like to read about Music in Ulysses.

Whatever your fancy we hope you will enjoy our latest issue.

This year marks the 194th annual parade in Montreal and Bloomsday Montréal will be participating again. See you there!

Best,

Tasha Jones
Editor-in-Chief
