In the first of a new series Rick O'Shea sets out to explore the world of poetry, A Rockfinch production for RTÉ.

We started the series with the national poet of Scotland – Liz Lochhead. She read her poem Kidspoem/Bairnsang and you can download a poster of it here.

Stephen James Smith and Enda Reilly performed their version of The Lake Isle Of Inisfree, more details about them at :
