9 Sep 2014

UCC researchers and students participate in poetry collaboration

Tue 23 September, 8pm: Triskel Arts Centre, Cork.  (TDC space on ground floor)
FREE

A groundbreaking exploration of contemporary writing in which 6 poets from Ireland and England tour brand new work produced collaboratively in cross-national partnerships. The tour visits five venues across Ireland and concludes with a show in London, with each event featuring a unique combination of pairs.

This is a project about the creation of collaborative work, but also about the integration of differing poetic communities. Therefore each event will additionally feature specially-commissioned collaborations between poets from the region.

Featured poets in Cork are:

Christodoulos Makris & Sam Riviere

Billy Ramsell & Patrick Coyle

Ailbhe Darcy & SJ Fowler

With

Sarah Hayden & Rachel Warriner

Doireann Ní Ghríofa & Cal Doyle

Paul Casey & Afric McGlinchey

Eleanor Hooker & Sarah Hesketh

Yes But Are We Enemies is co-curated by Christodoulos Makris and SJ Fowler, as an extension of the Enemies Project into Ireland.
