Inniu, tugann Tristan Rosenstock cuairt ar an ócáid REIC, a thugann ardán don fhilíocht ó bhéal. Is í Ciara Ní É a bhíonn ina bhun, agus gach mí tagann slua le chéile chun dánta dá gcuid féin, dánta le filí eile, agus véarsaí rap a chur i láthair an lucht éisteachta. Faoi láthair bíonn sé ar siúl gach mí i gClub Chonradh na Gaeilge i mBaile Átha Cliath, ach téann REIC ar camchuairt timpeall na tíre freisin agus bíonn sé ar ardán ag féilte fearacht Electric Picnic, Body and Soul, agus IMRAM. Bhí An Cúinne Dána i láthair ag an ócáid dheireanach a bhí acu, agus cloisfimid faoi mar a d’éirigh leo sa chlár seo tráthnóna.
Tonight we visit the monthly spoken-word gathering REIC, where people come together to read their own works, poems from other poets, or to perform rap. At present, it takes place in Club Chonradh na Gaeilge in Dublin, but they also tour, and have brought REIC to stages at Electric Picnic, Body and Soul, and IMRAM. The open-mic platform has launched some exciting new voices in Irish poetry in recent years, and organiser Ciara Ní É tells Tristan Rosenstock how it all came about on the programme this evening.
