Poetry NI celebrates women poets for International Women's Day

To help mark International Women's Day​, we're celebrating women poets in Northern Ireland by releasing a special edition of our FourXFour Poetry Journal.

The sixteen poems here (as we always have sixteen poems per issue) are just the editor’s personal selection, collated from back issues of the journal, all the way back to our first issue. Of course, we encourage you to delve in and read all the poets – women and men - from our online archives.

The line-up includes: Tory Campbell​, Patricia Devlin-Hill​, Jenny Cleland​, Gerry McCullough​, Olive Broderick​, Paula Matthews​, Erin Halliday, Lesley Martin​, Kathleen McCracken​, Stephanie Conn​, Ruth Carr, Lynda Tavakoli​, Heather Newcombe​, Shelley Tracey​, Lara Sunday​ and Rachel McCrum​, with a foreword by Poetry NI's Geraldine O'Kane​.

Read the issue and download it for free here.
