The importance of what the poetry magazine Cyphers has done for literature in Ireland... For Sunday Miscellany on RTÉ Radio 1, listen to Cyphers 100, by Nell Regan above.
The May sun is blazing, there are poets everywhere. I meet Ainín outside Strokestown House. She opens the car boot, reaches into a box she's brought direct from the printers and places a copy of Cyphers 99 into my hands. Oh, I love the blue, I say, running a finger down the list of contributors, flicking through to find where my own poem sits.
