Poetry

Ireland Introductions is a collection of poetry from the very best of

Ireland's emerging poets for 2016, as chosen by Poetry Ireland, the national

poetry organisation. Along with their vibrant and various new work, each poet

provides answers to a set of quirky questions about their aspirations

and inspirations as poets, including

their current favourite word, their worst poetry habit, and whether they've

ever used poetry as a seduction technique. Quality poems and quality prose

from Poetry Ireland: connecting poetry and people. Poets included in Selected

Poems 2016 are: Lisa Allen, Amanda

Bell, Alvy Carragher, Evan Costigan, A.M. Cousins, Ellen Cranitch, Maurice

Devitt, Roisin Kelly, Sophie Meehan, Manuela Moser, Padraig Regan, Ben

Simmons.
