  • Konkurs Poezji I Piosenki Irlandzkiej – Marzec 2021
    Konkurs Poezji i Piosenki Irlandzkiej – marzec 2021 PATRONATY HONOROWE: Ambasada Irlandii w Warszawie Konsulat Irlandii w Poznaniu PATRONAT MEDIALNY: ORGANIZATOR I SPONSOR: Szkoła Języków Obcych Program sp. z o.o. www.angielskiprogram.edu.pl https://www.facebook.com/angielskiprogram.poznan SPONSORZY: 1 Szanowni Uczniowie! Zapraszam Was do wzięcia udziału w XVII edycji Konkursu Poezji Irlandzkiej, którego finał odbędzie się w Poznaniu 19 marca 2021 roku ( piątek) w Sali Kameralnej Szkoły Muzycznej II stopnia im. M. Karłowicza przy ul. Solnej w Poznaniu. Szesnaście dotychczasowych spotkań z poezją irlandzką, zarówno tą mówioną, jak i śpiewaną, to szesnaście wspaniałych przeżyć, które pozostaną nam w pamięci. Historia tych lat pokazała, że młodzież polska rozumie i ceni poezję irlandzką i potrafi ją zinterpretować nie gorzej niż rodowici mieszkańcy Zielonej Wyspy. Cieszy mnie niezmiernie, że inicjatywa szkoły PROGRAM (dawniej Program-Bell) przyjęła się wśród młodzieży w naszym regionie i dzięki niej anglojęzyczna poezja Irlandii stała się lekturą i przedmiotem interpretacji słownych i muzycznych. Motto tegorocznego Konkursu to słowa Samuela Beckett’a ”If you do not love me, I shall not be loved. If I do not love you, I shall not love.” W tym roku wybór utworów jest podyktowany szczególnym czasem, w którym przyszło nam żyć i jako przeciwwaga tych trudnych czasów poświęcony jest miłości, przetrwaniu, czy przemijaniu, wierszy smutnych wielokrotnie, nacechowanych jednak zawsze odrobiną optymizm. Rok ten jest też wyjątkowy, bo więcej kobiet staje się widocznych w życiu społecznym i kobiety stają się coraz bardziej znaczącym głosem, który wybrzmiewa publicznie. W tomiku zaprezentujemy trzy nazwiska poetek, takie jak: Eavan Boland, Katharine Tynan czy Eileen Carney Hulme, w tym wiersz Eavan Boland o znamiennym tytule „Quarantine”.

The Oxford Wiffle Ball League (OWL), established in 2007 by Oxford teens Ryan O’Toole, 16, and Andrew Gray, 17, is set to return in April, and the boys are dreaming big. The genesis of the OWL three years ago began as many activities do — in the back yard. “We’ve been friends since middle school,” O’Toole said last week while preparing to hit some balls with Gray at Ruel Field on Locust Street. “We started in my back yard, then my back yard got com- pletely destroyed, so we cancelled that and we moved it here to Ruel Field in 2008.” “We knew of each other [in middle school],” added Gray, “but we became friends in fifth grade at Oxford Middle School.” O’Toole said the upstart league started with about 10 of his friends, including Gray, and four teams. After the inaugural season, it started to gather some steam. “It kind of took off,” O’Toole said. “Everyone started getting inter- ested in it.” Adam Minor photos The league today consists of 10 teams (with room for expansion if Above: Oxford Wiffle Ball League co-founders Ryan O’Toole, left, and popularity demands it) — The Padres (last year’s OWL Champions), Andrew Gray, at Ruel Field, site of the upcoming OWL season.
