If you have been taking the train along Dublin’s coastline this week, travelling past Lansdowne Road and the glass bowl of the Aviva stadium, you may have noticed some brightly coloured pink and blue banners hanging among the ads for Bible study and personal finance.

If you lifted your head from your phone screen long enough, you might have noticed the billboards feature poems, plastered up to celebrate Poetry Day, which falls on April 25.
