Yeats Society Poet in Residence

We are delighted that Victoria Kennefick will continue her ‘poet in residence’ with us until April 2024. We are especially pleased that she will also take part in our Yeats Nobel Centenary celebrations later this year.

Victoria read at our recent Poetry Day Ireland event, celebrating the strong and vibrant tradition of poetry across the island of Ireland. We were also delighted to welcome her guest, emerging poet Joe Carrick-Varty and to be supported by Poetry Ireland.

Victoria will present a creative poetry workshop at this year’s Yeats International Summer School and will also read at the School.

She is the current UCD Writer in Residence and her new, and much anticipated, collection will be published in 2024.
