Join us on Tuesday, April 8th at 11am<\/strong> for Poet as Troublemaker<\/strong>, a special poetry reading and conversation inspired by Biddy Jenkinson, who advised that “the poet is by profession a troublemaker. She must be independent to the point of eccentricity and is often, though not necessarily, as curst as a crow-trodden hen and as odd as one of the triple-faced monsters with which the Celts depicted Ogma the omniscient, gazing in all directions at once.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will feature readings and Q&A by Dr. Victoria Kennefick<\/strong>, 2025 Arts Council\/Trinity College Dublin Writer Fellow, and Annemarie N\u00ed Churre\u00e1in<\/strong>, UCD\/Arts Council Writer in Residence for 2025. This event brings together young poets and writers from both UCD and TCD. General members of the public are welcome to attend, listen and\/or contribute to the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doors open at 10.30am. The event is free but booking is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
