WRITER MINI-PROFILE

Poets use words to make statements about the world as they see it. Rita Ann Higgins, the renowned Galway poet, has for many years written poetry about a world full of everyday emotions with poignancy, extraordinary insight and wicked humour.

Her poetry is both politically insightful and wonderfully entertaining ‹ a rare combination.

Hilary Dully has made a film which puts images to Rita Ann's words. Playing with the notion of "kitchen sink poetry", the film uses images of housework to take us on a delightful, insightful and risky journey through the poet's world.
