Poetry Ireland Introductions

I did this a few years ago and it was very enjoyable and educational and you get to meet a lot of people and talk about poetry a lot which is a treat. You do have to have a publishing history behind you first.

The Poetry Ireland Introductions Series offers a paid public reading to poets working towards a first collection or with a début collection already published, and who have a track record of publication in journals and 'little' magazines.  

To apply for an Introductions reading and a preparatory masterclass in Spring 2012, send a maximum of 10 pages of poems and a short biographical note emphasising publication credits to:

Introductions, Poetry Ireland, 2 Proud's Lane, off St Stephen's Green, D2.

Deadline: Friday 6 January 2012.
