Unlaunched Books

Poets John McAuliffe, Seán Hewitt and Victoria Kennefick host the ninth episode of Unlaunched, the weekly podcast from Poetry Ireland, which is supported by the Arts Council’s Covid Response Scheme. Unlaunched sets up conversations which might otherwise be happening at the festivals and events which have had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.

This week the Unlaunched team asked poet Nidhi Zak / Aria Eipe to introduce listeners to poets writing from more diverse backgrounds, and this episode features Evgeny Shtorn, Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal, and Oein DeBhairduin, writers whose work reflects new soundings for poetry from Ireland.
