More than 100 poetry events are taking place across the country as people celebrate Poetry Day Ireland.
Whether it’s Wilde, Tynan or Heaney we are renowned around the world for our talented poets.
“Poetry enriches our lives, searches our past, illuminates the now of our lives and imagines our future, making us stop in our busy-ness. Far from being marginal, poetry by its distilled use of language can help to centre us..." #PoetryDayIRL pic.twitter.com/vhq7jpAHe6
