‘Through the intimacy of formal teaching, the obliquity of the chance encounter, the long-distance correspondence, a poet may find a voice’ Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin

Ushering in a new generation of poets that reflect a diversifying nation, Hold Open The Door is an anthology which reflects the breadth of new poetry in Ireland today, but also the infinite variety of influences that help shape the poetic voice. 

Join us for an evening of readings and discussion, introduced by anthology editor Nidhi Zak / Arie Eipe alongside fellow editors and contributors to the anthology, which features work by

Julie Morrissy, Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, Sonya Gildea. Celebrate the here and now of Irish poetry today!

Presented in association with the Ireland Chair of Poetry Trust.
