WELLNESS GETAWAY

POEMS OF LONGING WITH PADRAIG O’TUAMA

FEBRUARY 26 - MARCH 1, 2026

What does it mean to desire something? We all know that desire can change once we get what it is we think we want. And what does it mean to lose desire? Join Pádraig Ó Tuama for a weekend of poetry reading, and writing prompts exploring the strange world of longing, loss, desire and satisfaction. Experienced poets and newcomers to writing all welcome.

Meet Pádraig Ó Tuama

Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet with interests in conflict, language and religion. He presents Poetry Unbound from On Being Studios, and has published two anthologies (2022, 2025, both with WW Norton) from that podcast. In early 2025 Copper Canyon Press published Kitchen Hymns, his fourth poetry collection. A freelance artist, one of Ó Tuama’s projects is poet in residence with the Cooperation and Conflict Resolution Center at Columbia University. He splits his time between Belfast and New York City. 

Working fluently on the page and in public, Ó Tuama is a compelling poet, teacher, and group worker, and a profoundly engaging public speaker. He has worked with groups to explore story, conflict, their relationship with religion and argument, and violence. Using poetry, group discussion, and lectures, his work is marked both by lyricism and pragmatism, and includes a practice of evoking stories and participation from attendees at his always-popular lectures, retreats, and events.

WHAT TO PACK

A weekend at Hutton Brickyards means wide Hudson River views, crackling fires, and plenty of time outdoors—so packing well makes the experience even better.

Use the guide below to see what we recommend bringing for your visit, depending on the time of year.

Hutton Brickyards is best enjoyed outdoors—walking the riverfront, exploring the grounds, gathering around a fire, and taking in the wide-open views of the Hudson.
