POEMS OF LONGING
WITH
PADRAIG Ó TUAMA

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.
