Seán is joined by one of Ireland’s most influential poets, Paula Meehan. With a career spanning decades, Paula’s work has consistently explored themes of home, belonging, and marginalisation, speaking for those often left unheard.

Born in Dublin, she grew up in the tenements and has used her poetry to give voice to the dispossessed.

Paula is speaking at Other Voices, held in the Guiness storehouse on Tuesday the 16th of December: an evening of songs, stories and spoken word, all curated around the theme of ‘Home’.
