Poetry Readings

Yeats was a great believer that poetry was for the ear.

In 2015 Ireland celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Nobel Prize-winning poet, William Butler Yeats. For Yeats2015 many well-known poets, actors, writers, musicians, academics, politicians and journalists helped to create an archive of poetry readings that was shared as a world-first celebration of Yeats’ poetry.
