re:verb 2026 - a festival of contemporary poetry & the verbal arts (Director: Christodoulos Makris)
re:verb is a platform showcasing poetry and verbal art that predominantly strays from the mainstream, and aims to expand the potential of live literature.
Kit Fryatt lectures in English at Dublin City University. His recent books of poetry are 'Book of Inversions' (with Harry Gilonis, Veer2, 2025) and 'all things that are passing' (with Ellen Dillon, Spite Press 2026).
Máighréad Medbh is a poet with ten published books and a reputation for compelling performance. Among her several long-form sequences and conceptual explorations are a verse narrative of the Irish famine and an ecological fantasy-allegory. 'Dwelling' (Macha, 2026) is a mixed-mode poetic essay conversing with ancestry and its limits.
