Dánnerstag 2024

Dánnerstag - A Bilingual Poetry Reading 

On Thursday, 21 November 2024, the next bilingual (Irish-German) poetry reading event Dánnerstag took place at the University of Limerick, sponsored by Foras na Gaeilge and supported by Aonad na Gaeilge. This year, two Irish poets, Áine Ní Ghlinn, Ionad an Léinn Gaeilge-Ghearmánaigh and Laoighseach Ní Choistealbha, shared their work. Áine Ní Ghlinn read poems about child abuse, displacement, and dementia. Laoighseach Ní Choistealbha presented poems from her collection “Baile an Eibhir,” exploring cultural shock and the nuances of Irish culture.
