The Merwin Conservancy presents two readings and talks with award-winning poet, theologian, and conflict resolution mediator Pádraig Ó Tuama—who will be in residence at The Merwin Conservancy this summer—as part of their Green Room program series.

The first will take place on Wednesday, July 30 2025 at Maui Arts and Cultural Center Maui, HI and the second will be on Thursday, July 31, 2025, Honolulu Museum of Art Honolulu, HI.

Pádraig Ó Tuama (b. 1975 Cork, Ireland) is a poet with interests in conflict, language and religion. He presents Poetry Unbound from On Being Studios, and has published two anthologies (2022, 2025, both with WW Norton) from that podcast. In early 2025 Copper Canyon Press published Kitchen Hymns, his fourth poetry collection. A freelance artist, one of Ó Tuama’s projects is poet in residence with the Cooperation and Conflict Resolution Center at Columbia University. He splits his time between Belfast and New York City.

This program is made possible through generous support from Nancy & Larry Mohr, our Green Room Patrons & Hosts.
