Publications from Poetry Ireland

Introductions In 2020, we were delighted to publish two e-book anthologies featuring the very best of Ireland’s emerging poets. First up was Incredible Things Do Happen, the work of our 2019 Introductions poets, followed by Public Displays of Affection, an anthology of our 2020 Introductions poets. Both anthologies are available for purchase online, from Amazon and the Poetry Ireland website.

Poetry Ireland Review Three issues of Poetry Ireland Review were published during 2020 under the strong vision of Colette Bryce - Issues 130, 131 and 132. It was at the Christmas launch of the Review in 2019 that Eavan Boland, who had been editor for three years, announced that Colette would be taking over the mantle and welcomed her to the Review.

Poetry Day Ireland this year was dedicated to Eavan, who died on 27 April. We very much miss Eavan as a former colleague and a dear friend, and she has left a huge legacy globally with her written work, her teaching, and her example.

Trumpet Trumpet, our bite-sized pamphlet packed with reviews, opinions and essays on poetry and the writing life, was published in December 2020. Trumpet 9, with the theme ‘Fear and Release’, was beautifully guest-edited by Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, and is available to purchase in selected stockists and from our website.
