We'd like to think W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, and Eavan Boland would approve of our plan to celebrate this St. Patrick's Day by offering you a sample of Irish poets recorded for the Irish Poetry Reading Archive at the University of Dublin. You can find the entire collection of nearly 300 poems read out loud by their authors here. May your cup of good cheer runneth over--with poetry, that is, or as the Irish would say, "Sláinte!"
