Everyone Started Singing: Poems About Community, published by Cork City Libraries, is an anthology with a difference as it contains work by established and emerging poets, as well as members of the Cork Migrant Centre and the teenage writing group Fighting Words. All of the contributors either work, live or have an association with Cork City, and write about community in ways that challenge and surprise.

Join the anthology’s editor, Jenny Mitchell, and three outstanding contributors, Imasha Costa, Daragh Fleming and Gerry Murphy, as they perform their poems to inspire audience questions about the meaning of community in unsettled times.

Admission: Free
