The reading\, presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies\, will take on place on Friday\, February 23 at 4:30 p.m. in the Wallace Theater located at the Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton campus. This event is free and open to the public. Performances of Olagón are being presented on February 22 through 24. \nMuldoon will be reading from his recently published collection Lamentations\, which presents a translation of a classic Irish poem from the 18th-century and re-envisions the haunted narratives within. He will also read from his lauded Selected Poems 1968-2014\, work selected from the past 45 years and drawn from 12 individual collections by the poet\, hailed by Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney as “one of the era’s true originals.” \n The reading will include appearances by two of Muldoon’s recent collaborators on Olagón: a Cantata in Doublespeak. This new work is an evening-length collaboration between the Grammy Award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird\, Muldoon\, Ó Lionáird\, and Trueman. With text written by Muldoon in both English and Irish and based on the classic Irish tale Táin Bó Cúailnge\, the cantata paints a narrative of hardship in contemporary Ireland with traditional music\, such as sean nós\, performed by Ó Lionáird and with stage direction by Mark DiChiazza. Performances will be held on February 22\, 23 and 24 at 8:00 p.m. also in the Wallace Theater. Hosted by the Princeton Department of Music\, Eighth Blackbird will be in residence at Princeton Sound Kitchen from February 20 through 26. \nPaul Muldoon was born in 1951 in County Armagh\, Northern Ireland\, and educated in Armagh and at the Queen’s University of Belfast. From 1973 to 1986 he worked in Belfast as a radio and television producer for the British Broadcasting Corporation. Since 1987 he has lived in the United States\, where he is now Howard G. B. Clark ’21 Professor at Princeton University and was founding chair of the Peter B. Lewis Center for the Arts. In 2007 he was appointed Poetry Editor of The New Yorker. Between 1999 and 2004 he was Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford\, where he is an honorary Fellow of Hertford College. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, Muldoon was given an American Academy of Arts and Letters award in literature for 1996. Other awards include the 1994 T. S. Eliot Prize\, the 1997 Irish Times Poetry Prize\, the 2003 Pulitzer Prize\, the 2003 Griffin International Prize for Excellence in Poetry\, the 2004 American Ireland Fund Literary Award\, the 2004 Shakespeare Prize\, the 2005 Aspen Prize for Poetry\, and the 2006 European Prize for Poetry. He has been described by The Times Literary Supplement as “the most significant English-language poet born since the second World War.” \nIarla Ó Lionáird has carved a long and unique career in music in Ireland. From his iconic early recording of the vision song Aisling Gheal as a young boy to his groundbreaking recordings with Dublin’s Crash Ensemble\, he has shown a breadth of artistic ambition. He has worked with a number of composers internationally\, including Nico Muhly\, Donnacha Dennehy\, Dan Trueman\, Gavin Bryars and David Lang\, and he has performed and recorded with such artists as Peter Gabriel\, Robert Plant\, Nick Cave and Sinead O’Connor. His unique singing style has carried him to stages and concert halls all over the world\, from New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House\, London’s Royal Albert Hall and beyond. His film credits extend from The Gangs of New York to Hotel Rwanda and most recently as featured vocalist in the film Calvary starring Brendan Gleeson and the film adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn starring Saoirse Ronan. Ó Lionáird was a 2016-17 Belknap Fellow in the Humanities Council and Department of Music at Princeton. \nDan Trueman is a professor of music composition in Princeton’s Department of Music\, Director of the Princeton Sound Kitchen\, and a noted fiddler and electronic musician. He co-founded the Princeton Laptop Orchestra\, the first ensemble of its size and kind that has led to the formation of similarly inspired ensembles across the world. His compositional work reflects this complex and broad range of activities\, exploring rhythmic connections between traditional dance music and machines\, for instance\, or engaging with the unusual phrasing\, tuning and ornamentation of the traditional Norwegian music while trying to discover new music that is singularly inspired by\, and only possible with\, new digital instruments that he designs and constructs. In addition to Olagón\, his current projects include a double-quartet for Sō Percussion and the JACK Quartet\, commissioned by the Barlow Foundation; the Prepared Digital Piano project; a collaborative dance project with choreographer and Princeton dance faculty member Rebecca Lazier and Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Naomi Leonard; ongoing collaborations with Irish fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and guitarist Monica Mugan (Trollstilt); and a new collaborative work with Mark DeChiazza for the PRISM saxophone quartet. Trueman is the recipient of a 2016 Bessie Award\, a 2015 American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship\, a 2014 Barlow Commission\, a 2010 Fulbright Fellowship\, a 2008 MacArthur Foundation “Digital Innovations” Grant\, and a 2015 Guggenheim Fellowship. \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor Clair Wills\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics\, and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.”

SUMMARY:Anne Enright
DESCRIPTION:Anne Enright\, the first Fiction Laureate of Ireland\, will give a reading from her latest novel\, The Green Road\, on Friday\, April 8 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street. Part of the 2015-16 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University\, the event is free and open to the public. \nAnne Enright is an Irish writer whose work includes six novels\, three short story collections\, and one nonfiction book. She was awarded the Man Booker prize for her fourth novel\, The Gathering (2007). A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature\, she has also won the 1991 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature\, the 2001 Encore Award\, the 2008 Irish Novel of the Year\, and the 2012 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in literature. Her stories and essays have been featured widely\, including in The New Yorker\, The Paris Review\, Granta\, the London Review of Books\, The Dublin Review and The Irish Times. In 2011\, the Irish Academic Press published Anne Enright (Visions and Revisions: Irish Writers in Their Time)\, a collection of essays on Enright’s work. \nThe Green Road was published by Norton in 2015 and long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. It follows Rosaleen\, matriarch of the Madigan family\, and her four children\, who as adults have come back to rural Ireland for a last Christmas before their childhood home is sold. Spanning thirty years\, the novel traces back through the Madigans’ lives as they fight\, fracture and fall in love. James Wood in his review of the novel for The New Yorker said of Enright\, “she is a rich\, lyrical prose writer\, who cascades among novelties—again and again\, she finds the unexpected adjective\, the just noun…The Green Road is true and rueful\, as terribly adult in its clarity as its battered Madigans.” \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor Clair Wills\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics\, and economics\, not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.”  This event is the last in the 2015-16 series\, which will resume in the fall.

Part of the Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University\, the event is free and open to the public. \nGlenn Patterson was born in Belfast in Northern Ireland and is best known as a novelist\, though he is also a documentary filmmaker and journalist. \nIn his novels\, his recurring theme is reassessment of the past and the complexity of history. His work has been called political\, though he attributes this to a deep sense of place that pervades his novels. “Belfast is my city. That is where my imagination is most alive\,” he says. “You feel almost shaped\, yourself as a human being\, by the buildings that are around you. It’s just unavoidable that the political backdrop is featured in the novels.” \nPatterson’s most recent novel is The Rest Just Follows. Fat Lad (1992) was shortlisted for the Guinness Peat Aviation Book Award. His other novels include The Mill for Grinding Old People (2012)\, That Which Was (2004)\, Number 5 (2003)\, The International (1999)\, Black Night at Big Thunder Mountain (1995)\, and Burning Your Own\, which won the 1988 Betty Trask Award and the 1989 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. His memoir\, Once Upon a Hill: Love in Troubled Times was published in 2008. He received the 2006 Arts Council Northern Ireland Major Individual Artist Award. \nPatterson has been a writer-in-residence at the University of East Anglia and the University College Cork\, and he is currently teaching in the M.A. Program in Creative Writing at Queen’s University\, Belfast. \nIn addition to his novels\, Patterson also makes documentaries for the BBC\, has written plays and stories for Radio 3 and Radio 4\, and co-wrote the screenplay of the 2013 film Good Vibrations\, which was about the music scene in Belfast during the late 1970s. His articles and essays have appeared in The Guardian\, Observer\, Sunday Times\, Independent\, Irish Times\, and Dublin Review. Lapsed Protestant\, a collection of his non-fiction\, was published in 2006. Here\, a new collection of his writing for newspapers and radio\, will be published this year.

SUMMARY:Kevin Barry Reads from "Dark Lies the Island"
DESCRIPTION:Author Kevin Barry will read from his new short story collection\, Dark Lies the Island\, on Friday\, October 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street.  The reading is part of a series presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies.  The event is free and open to the public. \nBarry’s first collection of short stories\, There are Little Kingdoms\, was published in 2007 and received the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature\, awarded yearly to an Irish writer under the age of 40.  With descriptions of the everyday painted with colorful local language\, his stories examine the transformational and dark forces that may lie within seemingly comic or mundane persons and interactions\, often grounded in the country towns and cities of his homeland.  City of Bohane\, Barry’s debut novel published in 2011\, depicts a fictional west Irish town in dystopian 2053.  Described by Barry as “written in Technicolor\,” the book offers a startling treatment of a future without technology where gangs and vice rule the streets.  City of Bohane received the Author’s Club First Novel Award\, as well as the prestigious International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. \nDark Lies the Island (2012)\, his second book of short stories\, expands upon the author’s gift for witty observation\, and one story\, “Beer Trip to Llandudno” was selected for the Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award. \nBarry’s stories have appeared in The New Yorker\, the Granta Book of the Irish Short Story\, Best European Fiction\, and many other journals and anthologies around the world.  He also works as a screenwriter and a playwright.
