12 Thurs 15th Oct 8pm Daghdha Space Ulick O’Connor Ulick O’Connor is a biographer, poet and playwright. His biographies include Oliver St John Gogarty, Brendan Behan and the much praised Celtic Dawn, a biography of the Irish Literary Renaissance. As a poet he is best known for his verse-plays in the Noh form which were first produced in the Abbey Theatre in 1977 and at the Dublin Theatre <strong>Festival</strong> in 1979, later going to an off-Broadway production in 1981 at the Theatre of the Open Eye. Alongside Ulick O'Connor's prodigious literary output as biographer, playwright, literary historian and critic, he has been writing and publishing memorable poetry for more than four decades. His engagement with his subject matter, his deft use of form, craft, and above all lyricism, define these poems and make it a pleasure to rediscover them or encounter them for the first time. His first book of poems Life Styles was published by Hamish Hamilton and Dolmen Press in 1975. He went on to write five others, among them All Things Counter (1985), and One is Animate (1990). His translations of Baudelaire were published by Wolfhound Press in 1995. The book received an outstanding reception, and was highly praised by Michel Déon of Académie Francaise.
