Three of our best poets join forces for this unique event exploring the ancient poems on which Ireland’s rich literary heritage rests. Maurice Riordan is the driving force behind The Finest Music, a recent anthology that gathers Riordan’s own translations of medieval Irish poems alongside versions by everyone from Tennyson and Auden to Heaney and Muldoon, as well as fresh interpretations by acclaimed contemporary poets like Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin and Ciarán Carson, both of whom join Riordan onstage. Featuring readings in both Irish and English, lively debate and music from Ciarán Carson himself, this is an unmissable celebration.
