ABOUT POETRY IRELAND:
POETRY IRELAND is a dynamic and progressive not-for-profit
organisation that aims to promote poetry as an important cultural
means of expression and connection. Supporting poets, we bring poetry
to a wider audience and enable adults and children to find their
voice, ensuring our organisation plays a vital cultural role.
Since our establishment in *, we have
championed Irish poetry at home and abroad offering support and
opportunities for poets and enjoyable experiences for audiences.
Poetry Ireland is funded by the Arts Council, and by the Arts Council
of Northern Ireland.
We are committed to our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, and
continuously strive to include and engage people and poets belonging
to under-represented or marginalised parts of society. This is central
to our relentless pursuit of a more inclusive environment for emerging
poets and poetry audiences in part by assisting and nurturing policy
and practices in the wider arts community.
In September * Poetry Ireland moved into our
beautiful home in Dublin's Parnell Square. We embarked on ambitious
and innovative plans with our partners, the Irish Heritage Trust, to
redevelop this expansive Georgian townhouse, Poetry Ireland House, as
an all-island institution dedicated to poetry in all its forms. The
newly refurbished building will reopen in * as
Poetry Ireland House which will include the Seamus Heaney Poetry
Library alongside elegant performance, and workshop spaces. We are a
key literary organisation, always serving and connecting poets and the
wider public. The increasing need of all parts of society, young and
old, to find and hear their voice has meant our activities have grown
significantly over the past ten years. We house these activities in
three core programme elements, namely:
* Outreach And Development Programmes: this includes initiatives
such as Writers in Schools and Writers in Residence,
Introductions/Céadlínte, Poet in Residence and professional
development initiatives and events such as Poetry Aloud and Guth na
hÉigse.
* Publications: this includes the renowned Poetry Ireland Review
publication and publications such as Trumpet and anthologies.
* Live events and Poetry Promotion: readings, national tours and
live presentations at home and abroad. We also manage the Ireland
Chair of Poetry project.
We value creative and collaborative partnerships and enjoy a wide
public and media interest in our extensive programme of activities.
Our continued success is achieved through the efforts of our dedicated
and motivated staff operating in a creative and positive working
environment fostered by an experienced, dynamic, and committed board
of directors.
