PAUL DURCAN Reading and masterclass
Paul Durcan is an Irish poet, author of many critically acclaimed volumes of poetry. He has long been celebrated for a lyrical, freewheeling style that rejoices in the ordinary pleasure of daily life while still fiercely addressing his country's most pressing political concerns.
Durcan has also acquired a reputation for being something of a performance artist, bringing a wild vibrant energy to his readings, raising them to the level of a dramatic event. But it is Durcan's poetry that has always held the spotlight.
