Poetry Jukebox: Fragments of Scotch Poetry, Linen Hall Library

For this curation of the Poetry Jukebox, we asked ten poets, including Scots Makar Pàdraig MacAoidh and poets Anne McMaster, Charles Lang and Angeline King, to write new poems in response to Robert Burns and his Ulster contemporaries. All four poets join chair Maria McManus for an afternoon of readings and lively discussion as we explore the rich cultural and linguistic links between Ulster and Scotland. You can hear the complete curation on The Linen Hall’s Poetry Jukebox until 30 January 2026.

The ten poets in the curation are: Peter Mackay, Anne McMaster, Angela Graham, Stephen Dornan, Angeline King, Morna Sullivan, Lolly Spence, Charles Lang, Kathleen Jamie and Alan Millar.
