The Ireland Chair of Poetry Trust, in partnership with HOWL New Irish Writing, is delighted to announce a new project that will showcase the ubiquitous talent of Ireland’s emerging poets.
Poets who have not yet published a pamphlet or collection will be invited to submit a sample of their work of between twelve and twenty pages of poetry and a brief CV. Poems will be selected by Professor Paul Muldoon and two of The Ireland Chair of Poetry Trustees for inclusion in two pamphlets of The Ireland Chair of Poetry Pamphlet Series, which will be published by HOWL New Irish Writing in Spring 2025.
The Ireland Chair of Poetry Pamphlet Series has been established to encourage and assist poets in their creative development. The Trust hopes that this initiative will offer emerging poets who have not yet published a pamphlet or collection the opportunity to establish their careers and enhance their professional development.
Poets submitting must have had at least three poems published in journals or periodicals and will need to submit a publication list as part of the application. Please see the eligibility requirements in the Guidelines here.
The application form is available here.
All applications must be emailed to irelandchairofpoetry@gmail.com
Submissions open on Friday 4th October at 11 am.
The closing date for receipt of submissions is Friday 1st November at 5 pm.
