The Cork International Poetry Festival continues until Saturday at various venues in the city. Organised by the Munster Literature Centre, most events in the programme feature two poets reading from their work, and the festival also runs a number of workshops and awards.
Earlier this week, Deirdre Brennan was announced as winner of the Farmgate Café National Poetry Award for her Medea's Cauldron collection.
Among the discussion strands in the festival will be ‘Poetry in a Time of War – What Use Is Poetry?’ where festival director Patrick Cotter leads a chat with poets Carolyn Forché, Suji Kwock Kim, and Milica Mijatović.
