SUMMARY:Benburb Priory to open 2026 talks with tribute to Poet Charlie Donnelly
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 lecture series at Benburb Priory will open with a powerful reflection on the life and legacy of Charlie Donnelly\, the Tyrone-born poet and political activist best remembered for his role in the Spanish Civil War. \nThe talk\, titled Portrait of a Poet\, will be delivered by Eileen Quinn\, who will explore Donnelly’s short but remarkable life. Audiences can expect fresh insight into his political convictions\, his involvement in the international struggle against fascism\, and the poetry that continues to resonate with readers and activists alike. \nCharlie Donnelly\, who grew up in Dungannon\, is remembered not only for his literary talent but also for his passionate belief in justice and equality. He was just 22 when he lost his life at the Battle of Jarama in 1937\, yet his words endure as a testament to both the artistic and political spirit of his generation. \nBenburb Priory’s opening lecture promises to be a moving tribute\, situating Donnelly within the wider story of Irish cultural and political history while highlighting the continued relevance of his voice today. \nTo book tickets click here\n\n Looking for more Benburb events? Stay connected with us for upcoming activities and community gatherings. \nFollow Benburb Priory on Facebook and Instagram or join our WhatsApp Channel for regular updates
