The Daily PollPoll: Do you like reading poetry?
It’s Poetry Day.
IT MAY SEEM like any other day, but today is Poetry Day.
Poetry Day Ireland is an annual celebration of poetry which “invites the nation to read, write and share a poem on the day”.
This year’s theme is “good sports”, celebrating “the good sport in all of us, the drive to give it a go or to have a crack at it”.
In what is Poetry Ireland’s tenth year holding the dedicated day, they have previously had contributions from Paul Mescal, Margaret Atwood, Hozier and Mary Robinson.
Whether you’re a fan of a few verses or you waved goodbye to poets after the Leaving Cert, we want to know if you like reading poetry.
So today we’re asking: Do you like reading poetry?
