Book launch & memorial reading of Irish poems for victims of the Troubles from Atrocity Ár by Dr Ciarán Ó Coigligh at TURAS, East Belfast.
About this Event

Join us for the official launch of Atrocity Ár by Irish-language author Dr Ciarán Ó Coigligh, hosted at the TURAS Irish Language Centre, East Belfast. This commemorative evening marks the launch of a deeply reflective collection of haiku poems dedicated to the victims of the Troubles. In Atrocity Ár, Dr Ciarán Ó Coigligh bears quiet witness through concise, evocative Irish verse that honours memory, loss, and the human cost of conflict. The event will feature a live reading from the collection, offering a solemn and contemplative space for remembrance and reflection.

The author will also share brief insights into the inspiration behind the work and the role of poetry in memorialising lived experience and cultural memory. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the author, purchase signed copies, and take part in a respectful literary gathering that centres remembrance, healing, and the enduring power of language.
