10th annual Yeats Day being celebrated



The 10th annual Yeats Day is taking place today marking the 156th birthday of WB Yeats.

The Yeats Society Sligo are asking people to take part in their #YeatsDayChallenge by reading one of his poems and posting it on social media with the tag.

People can recite a line, an extract or full poem with the day being marked online this year for a second time due to Covid-19.

Susan O’Keefe is the Director of the Yeats Society Sligo and says people can read a poem that is sentimental to them for any reason.
