Until now, Rhyme Rag has only accepted submissions from young poets (aged between 12-21) in Kilkenny – but for the rest of this year we’re looking for guest poets from all over Ireland to send us work!

Every selected poem will be published on www.rhymerag.net and social media, along with its own custom illustration drawn by our excellent resident artist Alé Mercado.

Rhyme Rag is a long-running, successful creative writing and spoken word Kilkenny Arts Office programme; its goal is to establish a new platform for young people’s voices and creative expression. With this national call-out we hope to broaden the range of youth poetry and spoken word on the website, and to encourage many more young poets to get their work out there and to continue to push the boundaries of creativity.

Submit your work and you will receive constructive feedback. Every month two original pieces will be published on the site.

See link below for further details.

NB: no deadline specified.
