Conflict, Climate and Poetry - a writing residency in New York City

From October 2021 to May 2022, I’m doing a writing residency in New York City, with the Morton Deutsch Centre for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution at Teachers College, Columbia.

This project will culminate in compiling a poetry anthology of poems that are intelligent about conflict. Taking 35 contemporary poems, I will draw links between these poems’ intuition and conflict theory.

Quotes by Pádraig Ó Tuama (?)

“It has taken years to continue to live into the truth that if I believe we are from God and for God, then we are from Goodness and for Goodness. To greet sorrow today does not mean that sorrow will be there tomorrow. Happiness comes too, and grief, and tiredness, disappointment, surprise and energy. Chaos and fulfilment will be named as well as delight and despair. This is the truth of being here, wherever here is today. It may not be permanent but it is here. I will probably leave here, and I will probably return. To deny here is to harrow the heart. Hello to here.”
― Pádraig Ó Tuama, In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World

“Prayer is a small fire lit to keep cold hands warm. Prayer is a practice that flourishes both with faith and doubt. Prayer is asking, and prayer is sitting. Prayer is the breath. Prayer is not an answer, always, because not all questions can be answered.”
― Pádraig Ó Tuama, Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community

“May we find our foundation in the work of Love; demanding, tiring, true and human and holy.”
