The Ireland Chair of Poetry was established in 1998 following the award of the Nobel Prize of Literature to Seamus Heaney and is supported by Queen's University Belfast, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Arts Counci 1/An Chomhairle Ealaion. Other poets in the series include John Montague, Paul Durcan, Michael Longley, Harry Clifton and Paula Meehan. In her volume of The Poet's Chair Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill discusses the importance of place in Irish literature and the need to preserve important sites of Irish literary activity, brings us on a turbulent Turkish adventure, and explores Ireland's rich folklore tradition.
Trade Review'Beautifully printed and bound, this substantial series of published lectures pays testament to the rich diversity of contemporary Irish poetry and its criticism. It also offers the opportunity to consider how several important Irish poets have variously gone about the challenge of professing poetry in the public sphere.' Tom Walker, Irish Literary Supplement, Spring 2019 ||| 'Collectively these three books could be said to form a self-created imaginative conscience , and should be required reading for every serious student of poetry.' Michael O'Loughlin, The Irish Times, March 2018
