Erin Fornoff performs We Are An Archipelago, a powerful and poignant epic poem published by Salmon Poetry, at Merrion Square Park as part of the festival’s Synge programme. The poem tells the story of ninety-nine-year-old Bill, who returns to the island of his birth, and Deena, a young pregnant woman seeking refuge from a difficult past. As a hurricane approaches and a baby arrives, their unlikely friendship becomes a quiet anchor of resilience and hope. With lyrical storytelling and emotional depth, Fornoff’s live reading promises an unforgettable evening of poetry and connection.
