“Time has its own work to do” Patrick Kavanagh wrote in his poem “Having Confessed”. In the context of a poem, time moves back and forth seamlessly. In the context of a conflict, time can be a weapon: where one group decides time begins might erase the history of another.Can the operations of time in a poem open up ways where parties to a conflict can learn how selective measurements of time may be a source of division?Join MD-ICCCR poet in residence, Pádraig Ó Tuama, for an in-person seminar at Columbia University exploring the concept of time as it occurs in a poem, and as it occurs in conflict.________________Pádraig Ó Tuama is the host of On Being’s Poetry Unbound and is the author of Poetry Unbound; 50 Poems to Open Your Life. He is a poet with interests in language, violence, power and religion. Feed the Beast is his most recent collection with Kitchen Hymns, a volume of original poems, and an essayed poetry anthology Poetry Unbound; Poems on Being with Each Other both forthcoming in 2024. With the generous support of Hearthland and other philanthropic donors, Pádraig is the part-time poet in residence at the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution at Teachers College, Columbia University.Learn more about Pádraig <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-religion/padraig-o-tuamas-poetic-spirituality" title="https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-religion/padraig-o-tuamas-poetic-spirituality" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
