I was delighted to be chosen for the Poetry Ireland Introductions Series this year. On Thursday 30th May the first readings will take place at the Irish Writers’ Centre in Parnell Square. I’m trying to finalise the poems I’m going to read at the moment, in an attempt to show some sort of range in style and theme. It’s proving difficult enough but enjoyable all the same. Here’s a bit of information on the series – some great poets have come through the Introductions over the years.
“The Introductions Series offers an exciting opportunity for talented, emerging poets to showcase their work at a reading and to work with an established, published poet in a workshop environment. The criteria for entry is poets who have already had poems published in reputable journals and are working towards or have just completed a first collection.”
