I sit down with Jim Crickard on the rooftop of the Tara Building before his Therapy Sessions gig, as part of the First Fortnight Festival. We chat about poetry, Panti Bliss, First Fortnight Festival, Drag and Poetry and plenty of other great things. Jim Crickard’s poetry is camp and entertaining work with a sassy social-political edge. His work explores themes such as culture, sexuality and identity. In 2019 he was selected by Poetry Ireland for the inaugural Versify series, and performed to a sold out show at Dublin Fringe Festival. He came second in the 2019 All Ireland Poetry Slam Final. In 2018, he won the Cuirt Spoken Word Platform and was awarded a slot to perform at Electric Picnic.
