Irish poet and theologian, Pádraig Ó Tuama was once described by BBC journalist William Crawley as “probably the best speaker I know.”

On this night, he will present a talk entitled "Defend Us in the House of Conflict: Poetry and the Art of Conflict Resolution" and share his insights into the role that the arts and poetry can play in healing conflict and bridging human boundaries.

This talk is co-sponsored by the Kansas City Irish Center.  A reception and book signing immediately follows the discussion.
