About this Event
Le tacaíocht ó Fhoras na Gaeilge.
Léiriú haiku amuigh faoin aer i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla agus rannpháirtíocht an phobail ann. Join us for a haiku reading in Irish and English with Liam Carson, author of Belfast Twilight (Salmon Poetry) - featuring a gingko, or haiku walk, through the streets and surrounding area of the Festival Hub, in which the audience will be invited to compose their own haiku. Beidh ginko ann, nó siúlóid haiku, agus iarrfar ar an lucht féachana a gcuid haiku féin a chumadh le linn na siúlóide, agus iad a léamh os ard.
Please note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website.
