Martin Hayes in conversation with Pádraig Ó Tuama

Pádraig Ó Tuama is an internationally recognised poet, theologian, podcaster and mediator. The anthologist of Poetry Unbound, his poetry and prose centre around themes of language, power, conflict and religion.  Pádraig has published, most recently, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other and Kitchen Hymns.

Poetry, for him, is the language the heart speaks not when it reaches for some externalized divinity but when it seeks to understand itself. Eliza Grizwold ,The New Yorker

Magnificent. . . . Pádraig Ó Tuama’s abilities as a curator of poems combined with his remarkable gift for unpacking poems in such illuminating and generous ways, makes this ground-breaking publication one of the most engrossing books I have read in recent years.  Stephen Fry
