Poems, including work by President Michael D Higgins, are set to flow from a new ‘poetry jukebox’ which has been installed in the heart of Cork City.

Word on the street about the striking blue device, which has been installed on the plaza outside the city’s main public library on Grand Parade, is spreading ahead of its official unveiling next Thursday.
