Innti

Innti, an Irish-language magazine containing verse, critical essays and reviews. It was founded in March 1970 as a poetry broadsheet by students of UCC, and was resurrected as a journal in 1980 by Michael Davitt, one of the founder-editors. The magazine helped to draw attention to the work of a group of young poets associated with the University, among them Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Liam Ó Muirthile, and Gabriel Rosenstock. Frequently referred to as ‘the Innti group’, what they had in common was a commitment to a renewal of Irish-language poetry invigorated from a variety of sources, among them jazz and contemporary popular culture.
