What we Do
Cork’s monthly poetry event features poetry films, a poetry writing challenge, featured guest poets and an open-mic. Between April 2007 and December 2019 Ó Bhéal was a weekly event and hosted fifty Monday-night events, featuring almost 1,000 accomplished poets from around Ireland and from numerous countries on six continents. In 2020 Ó Bhéal’s regular event became a monthly fixture, due to a shortage of sufficient funding. Many of these events have been held in conjunction with other city festivals, including the Cork Jazz Festival, Cork Harbour Festival, Cork Pride Festival, Cork Culture Night, Cork World Book Festival and First Fortnight festival.
Ó Bhéal (pr. Oh Vale / O Veil, etc. Irish for ‘by word of mouth’, or ‘from the mouth’) creates an original platform for established & non-established poets and provides the public consistent access to contemporary poetry. Many have engaged in creative writing for the first time at Ó Bhéal, and many of these have remained actively writing and/or have seen their works accepted into print. The event is held upstairs in The Hayloft bar, above The Long Valley, one of Cork’s favourite and most iconic poetry venues. Ó Bhéal is inclusive of all forms of poetry and adult demographic.
Ó Bhéal’s Winter Warmer poetry festival (since 2013) aims to present a range of contemporary poets and related art forms (poetry-films, poetry fused with other arts, etc) to public audiences over three days each November. Ó Bhéal undertakes to deliver the festival in truly hybrid fashion, simultaneously in-person and online, so that these events are accessible to anyone, both during and after the festival has taken place.
Ó Bhéal strongly promotes use of the Irish language wherever possible, presenting at least eight bi-lingual readings in its annual programme, showcasing the best of today’s gaelic-speaking poets, Scotland included. These are funded by Foras na Gaeilge and Colmcille. Cuireann Ó Bhéal go mór úsáid na Gaeilge chun cinn nuair is féidir, ag léiriú ocht léitheoireacht dhátheangach ar a laghad ina chlár bliantúil, ag taispeáint an chuid is fearr de na filí labhartha Gaeilge sa lá atá inniu ann, as Albain san áireamh. Maoiníonn Foras na Gaeilge agus Colmcille iad seo.
Any city benefits from a consistent poetry event (as indeed does any country) and the wider arts sector gains from its presence, encouraging creativity across disciplines. Local poets not only avoid stagnation, but a platform for poetic expression contributes immensely to the mental well-being of the greater community and adds to its creative choices.
Poets from Ó Bhéal often perform as collectives at festivals and events around Cork, Munster and beyond. We integrate annually with the Cork Jazz Festival where we present an improv jazz ensemble, to which poets can read their work. Since 2008 Ó Bhéal has co-facilitated an annual Twin Cities poetry exchange between Cork and Coventry, which involves an exchange of visits by two (or more) poets from each city. A similar exchange with twin San Francisco has been growing impressively since 2016. Aside from guest-poet workshops at Ó Bhéal, we have also provided workshops within disadvantaged areas of the community. Every second year since 2009, Ó Bhéal has hosted the Munster Slam Championships. Ó Bhéal hosted the All-Ireland Poetry Slam Championship in 2012 and 2013 saw the inauguration of the Five Words International Poetry Competition.
Since October 2008, with the assistance of the Munster Literature Centre and the Cork Film Centre, Ó Bhéal has been promoting the art of the Poetry-Film and has worked in collaboration with the Goethe Institute and Literaturwerkstatt Berlin to encourage this art-form in Ireland. The 8th of November 2010 saw Ó Bhéal’s first poetry-film evening, highlighting some of the world’s best poetry-films. Our third poetry-film night on the 12th of November 2012 featured thirty excellent films from Ireland and around the world, as part of the Corona Cork Film Festival programme. Since 2013, Ó Bhéal has been affiliated with the IndieCork Festival of Independent Cinema & Music, to bring you the Ó Bhéal International Poetry-film Competition, screening the shortlist of thirty films and awarding one winner the Ó Bhéal/IndieCork prize for best poetry-film. Shortlisted poetry-films since 2012 are also shown every week at Ó Bhéal, before the event begins. Poetry-film programmes curated by Ó Bhéal have also appeared at Cyclops Poetry-Film Festival in Kiev and at the Clare Island Film Festival.
This project was initiated by the Cork City Libraries and Cork City Council for Cork’s capital of culture year in 2005, and has seen a new edition produced every April to coincide with the Word Book Festival. In 2012 the city Arts Office offered curation of the project to Ó Bhéal, who have managed the project since the 2013 edition.
Every year, 40-50 teenage writers from five Cork city schools undertake a series of nine poetry workshops, each held by an established vetted poet, in their local library. The poems produced are published in a collection each year, entitled The Unfinished Book of Poetry which is launched by the lord mayor at the Cork World Book Festival, in the city library.
Our work in young audience development hopes to prevent future talent from slipping through the cracks. We aim to provide the next generation of poets with access to an early, strong foundation in creative writing (and thinking!), as well as an introduction to a wide variety of world poets, both traditional and contemporary, all whilst encouraging sustainable and varied reading levels, in the interest of gaining a good head start in the world of ever-expanding and evolving literature.
Along with founder Paul Casey, Ó Bhéal’s committee includes: Publisher and Poet Billy Ramsell; eMCee and Events organizer Gerry McNamara; Actress, Clown and Poet Rosie O’Regan, Writers and Poets Julie Field, Rab Urquhart, Ciarán MacArtain, Kathy D’Arcy, Stanley Notte, Michelle Delea, Shaunna Lee Lynch, Benjamin Burns, Cédric Bikond and Colm Scully. Many of these compère on Monday nights, as do other regular or visiting poets. A number of other notable individuals have previously served on the Ó Bhéal board.
The website acts as the main organisational hub, offers podcasts from most Ó Bhéal nights and over 1,100 videos of individual poems read/performed at Ó Bhéal and at other festivals across Ireland. Ó Bhéal is regularly advertised via Poetry Ireland, The Irish Times, The Evening Echo, Lyric FM, Radio na Gaeltachta, WhazOn? Cork and a number of online literary hubs.

On an ongoing (non-for-profit) basis, Ó Bhéal seeks funding assistance, primarily to provide adequate artists’ fees, accommodation and some administrative expenses. Funding secured thus far is indeed limited to these, provided via four main sources: Three being the Arts Council’s Festivals and Events scheme, Foras na Gaeilge and the Cork City Council, with occasional funding from Poetry Ireland. In 2009 The Munster Literature Centre provided Ó Bhéal with a once-off grant of 1,000 euro. The fourth source is a non-obligational donation jar which is circulated each week and serves to defray additional expenses incurred throughout the year. There is also a donation button on the lower right-hand side of each Ó Bhéal webpage for online contributions, and contributors, should they wish, are published as friends of Ó Bhéal. In 2016 the Community Foundation for Ireland awarded to Ó Bhéal a grant of almost 9,000 euro to host eight Commemorative Events throughout 2016, celebrating the centenary of the 1916 Rising through past and contemporary poetry.
Much of the equipment needed to video select readings and performances throughout the year is generously provided by the Cork Film Centre.

In September 2011, our first fundraiser at the Metropole, featuring 14 acts of music, poetry and comedy raised 1200 euro, closing the gap in our 2011 budget. Thanks to an enormous show of support from the Cork Arts community, and beyond, our reading series has remained uninterrupted. Performers offered themselves free of charge for the event. Our thanks goes to Áine Duffy, Turcán, W!LD, Andy Wilson, Jo Collins, David Nelligan, Lady Grew, Fionnbarra, One Horse Pony, Cormac O’Caoimh, Niamh Murphy, Tom Campbell and Snatch Comedy. Thank you to all for your crucial support!
Thank you to all who donated raffle prizes for the night: Louis Mulcahy, Lush, Greenes Restaurant, The Farmgate Café, Vibes & Scribes, Waterstones, Doghouse Books, O’ Donovans off-licence, Butlers, The Quay Co-op, Priya, Silverwood, The Munster Literature Centre, The Wine Buff, Centra Tower, Tower Pharmacy and Curraheen Park Greyhound Stadium.
The audience averaged around 40-45 in number for many years until the widening of the venue space in the summer of 2017, since which we have seen audiences of 50-60 quite regularly, the highest being around 100. There is a great deal of overseas presence, usually with any number of poets / attendees from the USA, UK, across Europe and beyond. It’s not atypical to hear three or four languages spoken on the open-mic. Around half the crowd are regulars, and we often meet five to ten new visitors each week. Typically fifty to sixty percent of attendees are active writers and participate during the event. The age and gender demographics are spread evenly, from young school leavers and university students to adults of all ages. Many have a good grasp of Irish, and often travel from across the country to attend.
Since 2020 our audiences have been either completely or partially online. We have been running hybrid events since late 2021, so we simultaneously host in-person audiences and audience participants via zoom, while being streamed (simulcast) via our website’s live poetry stage, and via our vimeo, youtube and facebook pages.
Within our broader audiences, participants at Ó Bhéal include guest poets, open-mic contributors and writers/readers of five word challenge poems. Participant Statistics 2007 – 2022 (for the Reading Series & Winter Warmer festivals) can be viewed via this link.
Guests Poets Since 2007
(Ó Bhéal’s first 8 weeks had no featured guests)
Each year, Ó Bhéal aims to present a range of established poets and non-established, though usually most will have published to some extent (this is not a prerequisite). We try to host about 70-80% Irish and 20-30% overseas guests. Fortunately there are enough excellent Irish poets to keep us going at this rate indefinitely (should funding prevail) … what did Kavanagh say about a standing army of ten thousand poets? It seems he may have been right … we’re just lucky there are a lot of really good ones among us.
So while we do our best to provide a platform for all the capes and tunics of this fine army, we also like to populate the series with a few handfuls of International poets during each year. As of 2023 we have hosted over one thousand writers from dozens of countries and six continents.
