Book Launch
22 October 2025
The James Joyce Centre was pleased to host the Intercultural Language Service (ILS) in the launch of its latest book of plurilingual poetry in the Dubylon series, Dubeloving, on Wednesday, 22 October 2025 at 6.30pm.
Curated by the poets Fiona Bolger and Rafael Mendez, Dubeloving: From the People of Dubylon is an anthology of plurilingual writing from the 2025 Dubeloving workshops involving people of broadly diverse communities who have been exploring love as tenderness, a struggle for justice, even losing hope sometimes.
ILS seeks to promote social inclusion for newer community members through community-based language and (inter)cultural training, and to foster social cohesion in the communities and areas of Dublin City where New-Irish reside through intercultural encounters, activities and events.
Poets from all over the world (including Palestine, Nigeria, Iraq, France, Brazil, Eswatini, Greece, Syria and Poland) read from their work. After the readings, the audience enjoyed wine and barmbrack.
The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
