Thank you @IrishTimesCultr and @MartinDoyleIT for giving space to the @PoetryPac project at @UCDLibrary - we hope all those who participated keep writing! How poetry is helping us preserve our past - and question our assumptions of history https://t.co/OMxRb3QZnr

[Al Millar @MillarTap]

Contributed a poem to the @PoetryPac digital wall last year and recently got my handwritten copy sent, as they invite you to do, to the physical archive at UCD - I knew I would love the physical writing aspect to it, bought special paper and everything …

[Poetry as Commemoration @PoetryPac]

@MillarTap Thank you for taking the time to send your manuscript Al 🙏 It has been safely stored @ucdspeccoll @ucdlibrary alongside over 600 poems submitted by the public over the past two years.
