Spring 2026

5 weekly sessions on Thursdays 11.00 am to 1.00 pm, starting 7 May

In this course we will read poems from 5 newly published or soon-to-be-published Irish poetry collections. In each case we'll look at the context of the poet -as in previous work if already published and background if a debut poet. I will give the names of the poets/collections to be looked at just before we start, in order to be right up to date, in case people want to buy the books but photocopies of individual poems will be provided. An interest in contemporary poetry is all that is required and we will hopefully be able to attend some readings/launches of the studied work together during the course!

This class will take place on QUB campus
