Poetry Ireland is thrilled to announce Poetry Day Ireland 2024 will take place on Thursday 25th April. Now in its tenth year, Poetry Day Ireland is an annual island-wide celebration of poetry which invites the nation to read, write, and share a poem on the day. All are welcome to get involved, with participation encouraged from artists, venues, schools, hospitals, community groups, poetry-lovers, and more.
The theme for this year is “Good Sports” celebrating the good sport in all of us, the drive to give it a go or to have a crack at it. All are welcome to get involved, with participation encouraged from artists, venues, schools, hospitals, community groups, poetry-lovers, and more. In the past, we have even had contributions from Paul Mescal, Margaret Atwood, Hozier and Mary Robinson.
