Those who say her stories are old fashioned might be forgetting that Ireland is still predominantly rural. As Terence Winch says here, the word those people are looking for is ‘timeless’.

Thank you for such an emotional and insightful analysis of Taylor Mali's poem - exactly the kind of response his delightful poetry deserves. I'll definitely share your video with my students.

I am an attempted writer and when I was sharing my words with a respected friend. She read one of my stories and said to me that she admired me for being so brave to put my thoughts out for everyone to de. I believe you are a brave person. Braver than me. :-)

Thank you for watching! They are both such gems. If you liked this show, perhaps try our show featuring Eavan Boland. Both lovely, quiet poets of deep thought.

Michael Coady is such a gift... and such a loss to the literary world. His explanation, 9 minutes in, of how the tragic, mysterious story of his great-grandfather filtered down through his grandfather, father, and its impact on his own life, is only partial, but nonetheless riveting. "The Use Of Memory" appears in "All Souls" from 1997. VERY visual/visceral must-read stories and poems. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam ❤

Thank you so much for your comment, and your deep attention to this program. Michael Coady has such a gift of connecting memories and transmitting them directly to a reader. We very much appreciate your watching. If you liked this program, perhaps try our interview with Eamon Grennan. Love your Irish sentiment, and I agree.

This book "Are You Somebody?" was something I found on a shelf inside of a homeless shelter and I guess I would probably have to say the world is full of nobodies. Imagine that what made her "somebody" appears to be her career. My last job I worked in a call center and all the money I saved for the last five years my mother has managed to find a way to waste it all.

At least you pronounce her name correctly. So many so-called authorities here mispronounce her surname and it drives me nuts.

Oh, what a treasure she is/was - beautiful smile - so unaffected and intelligent. What a loss. She's right, the English don't love us but we pretend they do.

Thank you, Mr. Baraka. Continued to teach. Until we (as a people) circle the wagons and promote positive and truthful content, the powers that be will continue to promote negative stereotypes and modern-day minstrels. And pay others who look like us a lot of money to promote foolishness. Just look around you!

I had the pleasure of working with Stanley and his darling Elise Asher as a carpenter in NY back in the 70's and 80's. A kinder, more generous, and curious soul I've rarely met in the intervening years. I've had the honor of reciting Stanley's "The Long Boat" at more than one send off to friends and family members. It's a remarkable and indelible song about life and its inevitable end. Thank you, Stanley Kunitz.

I met Ms. Brooks before a reading she gave at Elmhurst (IL) College in 1992. She was a sharp, down to earth person who gave an energetic reading, despite being almost 80 years old at the time. The meeting was a pleasure, as well as a privilege, for me. She is one of the reasons I became a poet, myself.

I heard her last interview with Marion Finucane on RTE radio live and it was heartbreaking to hear how sad she felt after finding out about her terminal illness. I have a very slow acting terminal illness (diagnosed in 2008) thankfully it has not affected my daily life too much yet so I just keep trucking on and try not to think about it too much.
