The Merwin Conservancy presented readings 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.

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 was made possible through generous support from Nancy & Larry Mohr, Halekulani, and our Green Room Patrons & Hosts.
