51. Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin in conversation with Georgina Nugent (16 May 2024)
In her conversation with Georgina Nugent, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin reads several poems from her latest collection The Map of the World (2023). She also talks about the motif of hair in her poetry and the themes of death, history, water and time; the limits of knowledge and language her poems come up against; the timetable of cats; poetry as an attempt to reach through to those we have lost; and her poem-writing process and how she structures her collections.
