Gerald Dawe

Spanning over thirty-five years, Gerald Dawe’s Selected Poems is a major representation of this gifted poet’s work. His clear and unadorned voice – in the words of Terence Brown – articulates ‘an imagination of European scope’. The podcast records readings by many of Dawe’s colleagues who selected several of his poems at the celebratory launch. They include Chris Binchy, Ron Ewart, Peter Fallon, Gerard Fanning, Nicholas Grene, Kathrina Goldstone, Seamus Heaney, Eleanor Methven and Jonathan Williams. The podcast was recorded at the Assembly Hall, County Hall on Wednesday May 9th 2012.
