About this event
Join us for a reading and conversation with Micheal O'Siadhail, the world's leading living Irish poet. For over 50 years, his lyrical mediations have captured relationships between humanity and nature, despair and faith, and courage and healing. Tonight, he will read from his newest book The Essential Poems, which brings together selected works from throughout his career. Poet and Director of Northwestern University Press Parneshia Jones will lead a conversation following the reading.
