SoundEye 12
SoundEye 12 – Cork, Ireland – July 2008
SoundEye works to continue what The Cork International Poetry Festival started when it was first held in 1997, seeking to promote an Irish poetry alive and active in the wider world, and to bring to Ireland practices, understandings, and bodies of work which have grown up elsewhere.
Here we present a selection from the 12th incarnation of the event in July. More video will appear in the months ahead. movie and mp3 files of this event >>
Bill Griffiths
