Today is the 80th anniversary of the passing of Irish poetry legend WB Yeats.
To mark the occasion, we're throwbacking to a playlist of fifteen poets from Northern Ireland reading their favourite Yeats poems, that we curated alongside Lagan Online, as part of the Yeats2015 project. The full list is: Maria McManus - Leda and the Swan Kathleen McCracken - The Second Coming Ross Thompson – Broken Dreams Geraldine Dardis O'Kane - The Song of the Old Mother Chris McLaughlin - September 1913 Stephanie Conn – When You Are Old Colin Dardis - A Coat Deirdre Cartmill - The Rose of Final Battle Adrian Rice – The Pilgrim Olive Broderick - To a Child Dancing Upon the Shore David Braziel – He Wishes For The Clothes of Heaven Jenny Cleland - The Lake Isle Of Innisfree Ray Givans – An Acre of Grass Joseph Allen – Her Praise Gary Allen - Remorse For Intemperate Speech 27 January is Holocaust Memorial Day, a day to everyone to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of people killed by Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. 27 January marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. Poetry NI and sister project Lagan Online have marked past Holocaust Memorial Days with the release of online chapbooks from writers within Ireland and beyond, reflecting on issues that remain as poignant and as relevant today as ever. All are downloadable for free, just link on the images below:
