Guess who's not in it? Me. I wonder if there are any immigrant voices represented in this insight into contemporary Ireland?
Worth signing up for anyway.
(Forgive the high falutin' language. It reads as if it were written for the American market.)
To
celebrate Ireland’s Presidency of the European Union, this exciting digital post
can be sent to you until July 2013. Twenty-six poems and twenty–six video shorts
will offer you a unique insight into the creativity of contemporary
Ireland.
Ireland’s poets are famed around the world, and our contemporary artists are renowned for their creativity and vision. Each poem is a taste of the best of Irish poetry now, while the short videos (none are longer than three minutes) offer a parallel way of looking at things. Brought together, the results will intrigue you, move you, and maybe make you look at the world in a different way.
The Poetry Project was set up by the Kinsale Arts Festival in partnership with Poetry Ireland and the Royal Hibernian Academy. The poems were selected by Gerard Smyth, Poetry Editor of The Irish Times and Joseph Woods, Director of Poetry Ireland; and the video works were selected and commissioned by Gemma Tipton, from the Kinsale Arts Festival and Patrick T Murphy, Director of the Royal Hibernian Academy.
The entire project will be shown together in a unique premiere event at the Kinsale Arts Festival July 5th to 14th 2013
The Poetry Project has been supported by Culture Ireland
