Poetry SOS


Carlow Arts Festival

Poetry Ireland & Carlow Arts Festival

Take a moment to rediscover the healing power of poetry with a one-to-one consultation with a poet, amid the tranquil surroundings of Carlow College’s Orchard.

In a bespoke ten-minute session, your poet-physician will prescribe a poem from Vital Signs, a new anthology of courageous responses to the human experience of illness and healing.

Vital Signs, published by Poetry Ireland and edited by Martin Dyar, features a selection of poems by some of the most respected writers of our time, including Eavan Boland, Paula Meehan, and Paul Muldoon.

Advance booking is essential for this unique and intimate experience.

In partnership with Poetry Ireland.
