Join Butler MFA for a Visiting Writers Series reading with celebrated poet, theologian, mediator, and podcaster Pádraig Ó Tuama!Irish poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama’s work centers around themes of language, power, conflict, and religion. He is the author of several books of poetry and prose: "Kitchen Hymns", "Being Here: Prayers for Curiosity", "Justice and Love", "Feed the Beast", "Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community", "In the Shelter", "Sorry for your Troubles", and "Readings from the Books of Exile".
Ó Tuama is also the host of the popular podcast "Poetry Unbound", which immerses the listener into one poem every week, and the author of the collection, "Poetry Unbound", an expansion on the podcast that offers reflections on fifty powerful poems.
Working fluently on the page and in public, he is a compelling poet and skilled speaker, teacher, and group worker. He presents Poetry Unbound with On Being Studios.
