‘In Dublin they really tell you things – Pat Ingoldsby, Selected Poems 1986 – 2021’
In March the Museum of Literature Ireland will host a beautiful new video installation, In Dublin They Really Tell You Things (directed by Seamus Murphy) and, to celebrate this launch, will publish a first ever Selected Poems of Pat Ingoldsby. ‘In Dublin they really tell you things‘ will be a beautiful limited edition hardback spanning Pat’s life as a poet and gathers together for the first time poems from across Pat’s published works (and some unpublished poems including poems written during the Covid-19 pandemic).
We hope this overdue collection will celebrate Pat’s career to date and serve to introduce a new generation to his writing as he explores the importance of the inner child, individualism, his relationship with Dublin, her people and the streets where he sells his books.
