Glucksman Ireland House presents
Emotion, Migration, Masculinity: The Poetry of Bernard O’Donoghue
Wednesday, September 23rd at 7pm
at Glucksman Ireland House NYU
Men’s emotional lives, in rural Ireland and among the 1950s diaspora, are central to the prize-winning work of O’Donoghue, a migrant poet writing between the two worlds of rural culture and urban modernity. Professor Patricia Coughlan, School of English at University College Cork, explores how his powerful poetry questions and reinterprets traditional Irish identities.
Professor Coughlan is a scholar and critic of Irish writing from the early modern period of the late 16th century to Irish modernism of the mid-20th century and to contemporary poetry. Presented in association with the Keough-Naughton Institute of Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Please note that Bernard O’Donoghue will visit Glucksman Ireland House to read from his work on Thursday November 19th.
