ABOUT THE EVENT

Poetry Unbound is an immersive exploration of a single poem, hosted by Pádraig Ó Tuama.

Short and unhurried, Poetry Unbound is an immersive exploration of a single poem, hosted by Pádraig Ó Tuama.


Pádraig Ó Tuama greets you at the doorways of brilliant poems and walks you through — each one has wisdom to offer and questions to ask you.


Imtiaz Dharker is a recipient of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry and her most recent collection, Shadow Reader. was published to great acclaim by Bloodaxe in 2024. Padraig O Tuama's new collection is out in January 2025 and he hosts the celebrated podcast, Poetry Unbound, in which he reads and explores some of his favourite poems.


What better than to bring these two together to discuss Imtiaz's poems and talk about her poetic journey to this point? And celebrate the work of one of the nation's favourite poets.
