Poet as Troublemaker

Join us for this special poetry reading and conversation inspired by Biddy Jenkinson, who advised that "the poet is by profession a troublemaker. She must be independent to the point of eccentricity and is often, though not necessarily, as curst as a crow-trodden hen and as odd as one of the triple-faced monsters with which the Celts depicted Ogma the omniscient, gazing in all directions at once.”

This event will feature readings and Q&A by Dr. Victoria Kennefick, 2025 Arts Council/Trinity College Dublin Writer Fellow, and Annemarie Ní Churreáin, UCD/Arts Council Writer in Residence for 2025. This event brings together young poets and writers from both UCD and TCD. General members of the public are welcome to attend.
