Portumna Arts Group, as part of the Art Trail in Portumna, approached Coillte with the idea of installing
lines of poetry on the Special Needs walk in the beautiful Portumna Forest Park.
Peter Martin of Portumna Arts Group and David Harris and Brian Fogarty of Coillte met and decided on location of the project. Noelle Lynskey, Portumna Arts Group, worked with ten poets who were previous guests at Shorelines Arts Festival. Two lines from each poet are now in place for walkers to bathe in as they enjoy the forest trail.
Thanks to Little Bird Design for graphics and Coillte for their collaboration,
Mary & Declan Duffy for sponsorship and to the poets for their permission.
Poets:
Pat Boran, Jane Clarke, Paul Durcan, Louis de Paor, Rita Ann Higgins, Noelle Lynskey, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Bernard O’Donoghue, Thomas McCarthy, Geraldine Mills.
