Events

• Southword Editions in 2006 was preparing to start an annual anthology of Irish poetry, The Best of Irish Poetry 2007 to be the first volume. The project is under the direction of Patrick Cotter, with Colm Breathnach as Irish-language editor and Maurice Riordan as English-language (or Hiberno-English) editor. The series is expected to have 40 to 50 works published over 12-month periods in Gaelic and English. "Quite often readers abroad are presented with a selection of Irish poets restricted to those who are first published in the USA or the UK," Cotter wrote. "This annual series will present a more general selection generated by more informed pundits."^[1]
