Ó Bhéal’s 9th Winter Warmer (and 1st hybrid) festival presented 30 poets live from eight countries. Almost half of these featured guests appeared in-person at Nano Nagle Place, with others appearing virtually.
The festival hosted two poetry workshops, music from Nóirín Ní Riain (in-person), a filmed poetry play, a round table discussion centered on Nurturing Poetry with event organisers and poets from three port cities, a Many Tongues of Cork / An Earth Song session and a closed-mic set for poets who featured regularly in Ó Bhéal’s online open-mic sessions during 2021.
The shortlist and prize-giving for Ó Bhéal’s International Poetry-Film Competition were also screened and simulcast, as was an additional, special selection of poetry-films made in Ireland.
