Other Projects
Our Poet in Residence works on other projects - engaging, inspiring and supporting many communities in their interactions with poetry. Here are just a few!

This includes Catherine Ann’s curation and presentation of the Poetry Ireland contribution to the Frank Harte Festival in September 2020.
