Pádraig Ó Tuama - How to Be Alone

In this week's episode of You're Going to Die: The Podcast, host Ned Buskirk speaks with Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of 'Poetry Unbound' from On Being studios and the Poet in Residence with the Conflict and Cooperation Centre at Columbia University in New York City. In the last few years he's moved to New York, but tries to return to Belfast where he worked in Conflict Resolution for twenty years. 2025 saw the release of two books: 'Kitchen Hymns' - a collection of his own poetry; and a second Poetry Unbound anthology.
