MICHEAL O’SIADHAIL
POETRY READING AND DISCUSSION
‘From writing about personal experience Micheal O’Siadhail has moved to writing about the world. His poems, especially when he speaks of love, express tenderness – remarkable in a time when poets seem afraid to write with feeling. He works in skilful verse forms, yet his language is so suited to the thought as to seem perfectly natural’ – Louis Simpson
‘A gifted and confident poet intent on celebration and not embarrassed by tackling the old numbers – love, friendship, memory, childhood, faith’ – Lawrence Sail
‘A controlled sensuousness of language and it comes as near as poetry can, without being confessional, to conveying the overtones and textures of actual experience’ – Anne Stevenson

What is the future of Catholic Trinitarian Theology? Recent Trinitarian “revivals” have made much use of philosophical resources from the idealist tradition. Some Catholic theologians have followed suit; some have resisted. Recent critiques of idealism, and the recent wide-scale rethinking of Patristic and Medieval theology’s legacy, suggests the needs for new (or a return to old) paths. The aim of this ecumenical seminar is to generate critical conversation around the questions.
The Colloquim is to be held on Weds 25 Nov. 10:00am-19:00, followed by a meal. For booking or further information please contact: m.a.volpe@dur.ac.k
