In 1992 Limerick poets Mark Whelan and Paul Sweeny took up the baton and inaugurated Cuisle Limerick City International Poetry Festival as a bi-annual Festival with the support of The Arts Office in Limerick City Council. The festival grew slowly but steadily. In 2000 it was decided to make Cuisle Limerick City International Poetry Festival a yearly event. 2009 sees Cuisle Limerick City International Poetry Festival celebrating its fourteenth season with a line up which can only be described as its most prestigious to date. In keeping with its goal to establish Limerick City as a centre of excellence for poetry locally, nationally, and internationally, this year Cuisle hosts some of the most important and influential figures from the world of contemporary poetry, including two former American Poet Laureates, Donald Hall and Robert Hass; Pulitzer Prize Winners Paul Muldoon (Ireland) and Robert Hass (America), and New Zealand and U.K. and OBE recipient Fleur Adcock, to name but a few of the prominent award-winning poets attending this year’s festival. This year the Cuisle Programme for schools includes readings, workshops and masterclasses for second level schools. Booking is essential for these events and can be made through the Belltable Arts Centre on 061 310633. Limerick’s long association with poetry makes this festival the perfect place to enjoy convivial discussion, lunchtime readings, book launches, readings and workshops with the leading contemporary poets of our time. We hope you enjoy your time at this important Poetry Festival in Limerick. Cllr Kevin Kiely Mayor of Limerick 1
