Poetry, Prayer, and Protest with Pádraig Ó Tuama
Sunday, April 12, 2026
2:00–2:30 pm PDT / 3:00–3:30 pm MDT / 4:00–4:30 pm CDT / 5:00–5:30 pm EDT /
10:00–10:30 pm BST / 11:00–11:30 pm CEST / (Monday, April 13) 5:00–5:30 am AWST / 7:00–7:30 am AEST
Pádraig Ó Tuama’s work is often informed by prayer and sacred text. Far from devotional, though, his work is often searching, characterised by appeal rather than certitude. He delves into the gaps of sacred texts, looking for the strange, the curious, the disturbing, and the gathering.
Join him for this session of reading (and he’ll answer a few questions too).
Your donation towards this event supports our honorarium to Poetry Unbound and the beautiful work that Pádraig offers the world.
Pádraig Ó Tuama (b. 1975 Cork, Ireland) is a poet with interests in conflict, language and religion. He presents Poetry Unbound from On Being Studios, and has published two anthologies (2022, 2025, both with WW Norton) from that podcast. In early 2025 Copper Canyon Press published Kitchen Hymns, his fourth poetry collection. A freelance artist, one of Ó Tuama’s projects is poet in residence with the Cooperation and Conflict Resolution Center at Columbia University. He serves as faculty at Yale Divinity School as a Professor in the practice of Spirituality. He splits his time between Belfast and New York City.
