Publications from Poetry Ireland

Poetry Ireland Review

Poetry Ireland Review features the work of both emerging and established Irish and international poets, essayists, and reviewers. Three issues of the Review were published during 2021 under the strong vision of Colette Bryce - Issues 133, 134, and 135. Colette’s editorship ends with Issue 135, and it’s hard to believe that her two years in the role have come to pass already.

We thank Colette for her passion, dedication, and insight during her editorship, all of which shone through brightly in each issue of the journal. And for her strong support for Irish poetry, especially for new voices coming through. We look forward to announcing our next editor in early 2022.

Trumpet

Trumpet, our bite-sized pamphlet packed with reviews, opinions and essays on poetry and the writing life, was published in December. Challenging and often provocative, Trumpet’s revolving guest editorship ensures a new and exciting vision for each issue, and ensures a greater diversity of voices and experiences are found within its pages.

Trumpet 10, with a focus on poets and artists living in the North/NI/Ulster right now, is expertly guest-edited by Micheál McCann, and is available to purchase in selected stockists and from our website.

Introductions

In December, we were delighted to publish an e-book anthology of the work of the 2021 Poetry Ireland Introductions participants, coinciding with the two-night live Introductions event at Smock Alley. Featuring the very best of Ireland’s emerging poets, This Is What You Mean to Me, is available for purchase online, from Amazon and the Poetry Ireland website.

‘Of claws and hooves and meadows’ poetry pamphlet

The poetry pamphlet, featuring newly commissioned work by Moya Cannon, Martin Dyar, Conor Cleary and Roxanna Nic Liam and several existing poems, was launched with an online event on World Animal Day (1 October). The insightful collection of poems, with illustrations by Helena Grimes, delves into the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic has shed new light on the relationship between humans and the animals with whom we share the earth.

This project was a partnership with UCD School of Veterinary Medicine and was kindly supported by the Science Foundation of Ireland. Copies are available to order on our website.
