A Time to Remember

We sadly lost valued members of the Irish poetry community in 2020. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Eavan Boland, Derek Mahon, Richard Weber, and Larry Stapleton.

We also remember Tommy Smith, a former board member of our organisation and a renowned supporter of poets, writers, and artists.

We also remember pioneering educator, historian and campaigner Margaret Mac Curtain. We were delighted to host a book launch and birthday celebration for Margaret at Poetry Ireland in summer 2019, one of the best attended events in our history.
