No Egos No Divas: New Poets in Irish is a new radio show with Louis de Paor, produced by Claire Cunningham of RTÉ Radio 1's Poetry Programme. He will be talking to contemporary poets Aifric Mac Aodha, Marcus Mac Conghail, Caitlín Nic Íomhair, Ailble Ní Ghearbhuigh, Simon Ó Faoláin, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Séamus Barra Ó Súilleabháin about the Irish language in poetry on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 28 July at 4.30pm. Several of these poets feature in Calling Cards, which Poetry Ireland co-published last year with The Gallery Press.
Presenter Louis de Paor will facilitate a lively conversation about the poets' love of the language, their debt to previous Irish language poets and the surge in popularity of live poetry and spoken-language events run by organisations like Ó Bhéal in Cork and REIC in Dublin.
