The Kilkenny Poetry Broadsheet a publication from the Kilkenny County Council Arts Office, gives local writers a platform for their work. Beginning in 2001, the Poetry Broadsheet has merged poetry with illustration to create an individual broadsheet publication that is then free to the public. The editors have been a carefully chosen selection of accomplished poets that have had the difficult task of choosing from sometimes nearly 200 submitted poems to choose the winning poets. To name a few Yvonne Cullen, Pat Boran, Iggy McGovern and Nuala Ní Chonchúir have been past editors. Local illustrator Alé Mércado has worked alongside the Arts Office for years to produce beautifully illustrated braodsheets, idividual each year and tailored to the poems selected.
This publication has given local poets of all levels and ages and levels the opportunity of being published, and been a vibrant addition to the Arts Office programme.
