In this episode, Claire and co-host Scott chat to the wonderful poet Pádraig Ó Tuama about his latest collection Kitchen Hymns and the anthology 44 Poems on Being with Each Other.
Pádraig Ó Tuama is an internationally recognised poet, podcaster, and the best-selling anthologist of Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World (Canongate, 2022). His previous poetry collections include In the Shelter, Sorry for Your Troubles, and Feed the Beasts, whose meditations on identity, sexuality, religion, and Irishness have propelled him to widespread acclaim in circles of poetry, politics, religion, conflict resolution, and psychotherapy.
Having worked in conflict resolution for many years, he now presents the podcast Poetry Unbound with On Being Studios, which has amassed over sixteen million downloads since its launch in 2020. He splits his time between Belfast and New York City.
You can also find Pádraig on Substack
and Instagram @padraigotuama.(There´s a very brief glitch about 11 minutes in where unfortunately a few of Pádraig´s words get cut out. He tells us that Kitchen Hymns is in sweet, living and loving memory of Glenn Jordan and Daniel Fry.)
