Naomi Shihab Nye: Dear Poet 2015

posted on: Apr 16, 2015

Cúirt 2015 plays host to a wide variety of poets, local, national, and international, with one of the highlights set to be the reading of Palestinian-American poet Naomi Shihab Nye at the Town Hall on Thursday 23 at 8.30pm. In the Galway Advertiser last month, Galway poet Kevin Higgins said it is “certain to be a revelation, one which will be spoken of in years to come, like Allen Ginsberg’s appearance in 1995…an essential event for anyone with a serious interest in either poetry or Palestine”.
