Poetry in the past and present tense: Kimberley Campanello and Jessica Traynor

Tue 14 Oct 2025 19:00 - 20:00 Maynooth Community Library, W23 ND79

In their latest collections, poets Jessica Traynor (New Arcana, Bloodaxe) and Kimberly Campanello (An Interesting Detail, Bloomsbury) excavate the distant and immediate past for histories and herstories, dreams and myths, bodies and beliefs: bringing them shimmering, pulsing and very much alive into our shared present. How does a poem become a message to be read, like a tarot card, a document, a monument? What can it teach us for the years ahead?

Join us for a special evening of readings and conversation, hosted by poet and academic, Catherine Gander.

Presented in association with Poetry Ireland.
