This self guided audio trail features recited poems at special locations by five exciting voices in contemporary Irish poetry – Aifric Mac Aodha, Paddy Bushe, Áine Ní Ghlinn, Mícheál Ó Ruairc, and Seosamh Ó Murchú.
I chose the location of each stop on this trail carefully to link in with the themes of the various poems, so open your eyes and soak it all in as you listen to the poet’s voices.
You will travel through Irish mythology and history, to modern day Dublin, and it gives me great pleasure to offer you the opportunity to hear these poems in the city’s native language, as well as English.
The route covers approximately 2km. Pause after each poem when you hear the music, and make your way to the next stop.
