Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin: Poetry Reading and In-Conversation

About the show

The Irish Cultural Centre is delighted to present one of Ireland’s leading Poets, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin for a special event focused on her latest publication, “New Selected Poems”.

The book generously represents poems from each of her ten collections and culminates in a series of powerful new poems, confirming her status as one of the finest poets at work in the world today.

For this very special event, Eiléan will read from her new selected collection and from some of her other publications - including THE MAP OF THE WORLD, which was shortlisted for the TS Eliot prize in 2023.

Eiléan will also be in conversation with the journalist Dorothy Allen and she will talk about her life and her work.

It is a great privilege for the ICC to present Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, who is a Fellow and Professor of English (Emerita) at Trinity College, Dublin. Eiléan also served as Ireland’s Professor of Poetry from 2016-2019, and in May 2022, she was elected ‘Saoi’ by the members of Aosdána – the highest honour an artist in Ireland can have bestowed on them.
