Part of Eckerd College's National Poetry Month Reading Series
The work of Irish poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama centers on themes of language, power, conflict and religion. He is the author of several books of poetry and prose: Feed the Beast (Broken Sleep Books, 2022), In the Shelter (Broadleaf Books, 2021), Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community (Canterbury Press Norwich, 2017), Sorry for Your Troubles (Canterbury Press Norwich, 2013), and Readings from the Book of Exile (Canterbury Press Norwich, 2012). Ó Tuama also hosts the popular podcast Poetry Unbound, which immerses listeners in one poem every week. His collection Poetry Unbound (W.W. Norton & Company, 2022) is an expansion of this podcast that offers reflections on 50 powerful poems.
