We Are the Poets - Laureate na nÓg

Commissioned by the Riverbank Arts Centre along with Poet Nell Regan to explore the unique landscape of the Pollardstown Fen (a nature reserve on the Curragh) through a series of workshops with children from the Curragh Family Resource Centre after-school club.  

 

Working together, we assisted the children in celebrating the rich natural history of Pollardstown Fen in their own poems and illustrations. 

​

The programme was concluded with an event and pop-up exhibition at The Riverbank Arts Centre, celebrating the work that took place.

 

Pollardstown Fen, a rich ecosystem on Kildare's doorstep, will be captured and preserved in the poetry and minds of the young Curragh residents.

The children of the Curragh Family Resource Centre & Nell Regan
