About this Event
The Poetry Stroll: A Dublin Walking Tour, Guided by Song
This walking tour explores Dublin's literary heritage through song, poetry and storytelling, bringing to life the writers and artists who once lived and worked around Merrion Square.
The stroll is built around the life and work of James Joyce. As we wander the streets and visit the places that shaped his life and imagination, we trace his journey from aspiring young writer to the author of Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses.
While James Joyce remains at the heart of the stroll, his story is woven together with those of fellow writers and artists, including Oscar and Lady Jane Wilde, Æ George Russell and Susan L. Mitchell, revealing the rich creative world that once flourished around Merrion Square and beyond.
The Poetry Stroll is organised and guided by songwriter R.M. Jacobs.
