The Fingal Poetry Festival Podcast celebrates the light that poetry brings into our lives…
In each episode, one of Ireland's most celebrated poets will read a poem, which they will then speak about before reading it again.
In 10 minutes or less, armed with these insights, you will be guided through the poem and pulled into the heart and mind of the poet.
Poetry transports us. It stops us in our tracks. And with this podcast, you can do both.
Take these poems with you on your walks. Or sit down with them for a cup of tea.
And don’t forget to write to us on Twitter @fingalpoetry. In fact, we’d be delighted if you wrote a tweet-sized poem about how much you love the podcast.
Thank you for listening.
