Location: Parade Tower, Kilkenny Castle
Over a career spanning more than 50 years, Paul Muldoon has never shied away from history, confronting some of the most important moments in Ireland’s past. Following the premiere of Custom of the Coast, his collaboration with Kamala Sankaram exploring the lives of Savita Halappanavar and the 18th-century pirate Anne Bonny, the current Ireland Professor of Poetry offers a brief survey of Irish history from earliest times to the present day through the prism of his own work. This illustrated lecture features poems by Muldoon on the Vikings, the Normans, the English and the Troubles, as well as more recent events.
