Poetry Readings by Skylight 47

FREE EVENT – OPEN MIC

Join Skylight 47 poets  for an enjoyable evening of poetry celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the West of Ireland. Each of the poets will read works resonating with themes of heritage: exploring the lore of places, our connection with them and their traditions, Irish myths, and the importance of nature and language.  Skylight 47 was first published in January 2013 to celebrate ten years of Galway’s Over the Edge poetry readings in the City Library. Currently led by Bernie Crawford, D’or Seifer, and Ruth Quinlan, with Nicki Griffin supporting in an advisory capacity, Skylight 47 continues to showcase the vibrant poetry scene in Galway and beyond.

This performance is part of a series of a full day of events to celebrate three decades of the Galway Civic Trust / Dúchas na Gaillimhe! Our 30 Year Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Mick Lally Theatre, Druid Lane, Galway, on Friday, 23 August. This special event promises a day full of engaging talks, captivating performances, and cultural enrichment.
