Anna and Marie Peters Athena Fine Art Gallery, Longford town with poets Shelley Corcoran and Imelda Kilmurray in Athena for the event to mark Poetry Day Ireland on Thursday, April 25
Thursday, April 24, was Poetry Day Ireland 2024.
Ireland’s love of poetry was celebrated in every town in the country. In Longford a relaxed informal evening of poetry by local poets was held in Athena Fine Art Gallery.
To mark the occasion Eat the Storms, the poetry podcast, host an All-Ireland Poetic Relay Race.
Eat the Storms presented a special episode featuring 32 poets, each representing one of the 32 counties on the island of Ireland, each reading one poem for their county, passing from county to county in a poetic relay race. Host and writer Damien B Donnelly produces the episode.
Anne Tully represent Longford. Anne's poem was a tribute to the almost forgotten tradition of fair days and her heritage as a dealers daughter.
