SoundEye Festival
The SoundEye Festival of the Arts of the Word is an annual festival dedicated to poetry and other artistic practices predicated on the power of word and text. It is held in Cork City, taking up the best part of a week in late-June to mid-July. It is one of Ireland’s largest poetry events, with up to 40 poets reading and a major international contingent at recent festivals.
== History ==
To a great extent the festival originates with, and continues to be directed by, the experience of poet Trevor Joyce (b. Dublin 1947), about whose house in the historic Shandon district of Cork City the festival revolves. Joyce, who co-founded (New Writers’ Press ) with Michael Smith in 1967, with whom he had published a number of collections of poetry, went through a period of almost twenty years silence from the late seventies. His return to writing corresponded with an invitation to a literary conference in the U.S. In Joyce’s own words:
"In '96 I was invited to a huge (Assembling Alternatives ) conference in New Hampshire. There I met a number of Irish poets for the first time, though I did already know some by name. There were Maurice Scully, Catherine Walsh, Billy Mills, Randolph Healy and Geoffrey Squires. I also met Tom Raworth, and learned that he travelled under an Irish passport. These Irish connections, while they might seem trivial to some, were of great importance to me, since I had long given up hope of any new wave of exploratory poetry coming out of Ireland. Their presence in New Hampshire among the hundred-plus poets there from the wider anglophone world indicated the existence of a living meshwork of poets, informed readerships and intelligent critics, which I hadn't suspected.
