Pádraig Ó Tuama: Love Between Men

Join us online for the launch of Love Between Men by Pádraig Ó Tuama. Hosted by Tim Loveday.

Pádraig Ó Tuama's Love Between Men celebrates and challenges love: of history, poetry, and language - and ultimately, of change.

Some men love each other. For others, love of something else gets between them. Love Between Men begins in the garden of Eden, recasting Adam, Eve, and God into voices both abrasive and intimate. Then, in seven deadly sonnets, the poet details his own experiences of exorcisms and gay reparative therapies, exploring desire with its promise and fear of fulfillment. These poems by turns, intelligent, funny, devastating, and explosive – consider time, the edges of empire, and the limits of the tongue. Here is rage paired with prayer, in punked up forms and broken sequences.

This event is being held online via Zoom, and will be recorded for a future podcast.

Free, but bookings are essential.
