    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
     
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
     
    The world of nature is often the first resource a poet has for muse and inspiration.  Nature has infinite ways of both revealing herself and putting together landscapes of majesty and wonder in everything from a flower to the universe.

    Raging: Wild Sky - The Rising

    Part of Deirdre Kinahan's trilogy of landmark plays commemorating seven years of warfare in Ireland, Wild Sky explores the extraordinary energy and complexity of events in Ireland in the lead up to the Easter Rising of 1916.
    Wild Sky is a story of interlocking lives: of the politicised Josie Dunne, and of Tom Farrell, who is driven only by his love for her. As the Rising plays out, there are unforeseen consequences for everyone involved...
    The play was first staged at Rossnaree House, Slane, Co. Meath, in February 2016, transferring to Bewley's Café Theatre, Dublin, later that month.
    Deirdre Kinahan's Raging trilogy tells powerful stories drawing on a tumultuous period of conflict in Irish history, from the 1916 Easter Rising to the Civil War which began in 1922. Each of the three plays – Wild Sky, Embargo and Outrage – was first performed a century after the event which it depicts, and they were commissioned and performed by companies including Fishamble: The New Play Company, Meath County Council Arts Office, Dublin Port Company and Iarnród Éireann.
    Together, they challenge the historical narrative, mixing true-life testimonies with powerful drama to create a theatrical hurricane of empathy, action and truth.
    'A soaringly touching piece, taking the tiny canvas of a love story between a boy and girl and giving it the compass of inevitable, pre-destined loneliness and loss... searing, beauteous simplicity' - Independent.ie

    Poet-critic Jim Johnstone has described Kevin Heslop's the correct fury of your why is a mountain as among “the most promising poetic projects to come out of Canada in recent years.” This debut collection communicates Heslop’s sense of balance as a visual artist, curator, and poet who weights the page with visual harmony. By turns experiment, lyric, and incantation, the book nods to its author’s training as an actor, combining a command of language, form, character, and polyphony to make something performatively unique.

    Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? 
    From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. 
    Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name.  
    When God calls, the artist listens. 
    Featuring stories based on the following artists: Genesius of Rome, James Tissot, Gabrielle Bossis, Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Dorothea Sayers, and Tony Fontane.
