How I’d have survived without poetry ever, and especially this past year is beyond me. So it’s brilliant on UNESCO World Poetry Day to see Irish word installation artist Christina Reihill launch a public projection of her latest work across a trio of London’s cultural landmarks. Her powerful poem ‘Presence’ will illuminate Tate Modern, the Royal Opera House, and the South Bank’s Royal Festival Hall. I had the joy of interviewing poet Tishani Dhosi, who features above me today, a couple of years ago at Listowel Writers’ Week . She’s just one of an impressive line up at next weekend’s Mountains to Sea dlr Books Festival.
