Poetry reading with Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh & Billy Ramsell
Join acclaimed poets Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh and Billy Ramsell as they read from their latest works and engage in a conversation that delves into identities, imagination, food, and the music of translation.
Billy Ramsell’s latest collection, Render, published by Banshee Press, was a Poetry Book Society Summer Recommendation. According to The Irish Times the “awe-inspiring imaginative panache and chutzpah of this book are overwhelming."
Labhróidh Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh faoina leagan nua de Liadain, ceann de mhórscéalta grá na meánaoise, a d’fhoilsigh Leabhar Breac le déanaí. She will also read from This Deep (Gallery Press), a bilingual collection of poems drawing on the award-winning collection, Tonn Teaspaigh agus Dánta Eile, featuring translations by Alvy Carragher, Alan Gillis, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Michelle O’Sullivan, and Billy Ramsell.
Join us for an evocative and entertaining session that explores the musicality of both the English and Irish languages, an afternoon that is sure to linger long in the imagination.
