Poetry Ireland Review is a highly-regarded journal of poetry. Published three times a year, the Review includes the work of both emerging and established Irish and international poets, essayists, critics and visual artists.
Poetry Ireland Review 145, edited by Victoria Kennefick, features new poems from Aoife Lyall, Victoria Chang, Joe Carrick-Varty, Éireann Lorsung, and Padraig Regan as well as work from emerging poets Cora Crampton and Kasandra Ferguson, among many others. Irish-language editor Aifric Mac Aodha’s selection includes poetry from Áine Ní Ghlinn, Ceaití Ní Bheildiúin, and an essay on the poetry of Deirdre Brennan from Proinsias Ó Drisceoil.
The issue also remembers Michael Longley in a eulogy by Fran Brearton.
In the 2025 spring issue, there are a total of 26 books reviewed which speak on displacement, how to find firm ground in a world of constant change and chaos, and the complex intersections of identity and place. There are reviews of exciting new collections from Charles Lang, Patrick Cotter, and Anne Fitzgerald, as well as the highly original debut collections from Scott McKendry and Jeremy Haworth.
Other prose in this issue includes Caroline Bird’s essay ‘Poets and Clowns’, featuring exactly what you think it does, along with an interview with Eileen Myles reflecting on their journey as a ‘pathetic’ poet in New York, conducted by Hugo Jeudy and Lika Gorskaia.
The visual art in Issue 145, which delves into conceptual and sensory dimensions, is from Aisling Conroy, a multidisciplinary artist using painting, print, sound and experimental film, based in Dublin.
