This lecture, the first by Vona Groarke in her role as Ireland Professor of Poetry, will “look at the relationship between poets, poems and loneliness. Often perceived as a solitary figure, sometimes embracing and sometimes resisting that aloneness, poets seem magnetically drawn to the subject of loneliness. This lecture will think about how poets write about it, and have their poems acknowledge, embody or defy that intrinsic loneliness.”  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/1f3cda00-0a27-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w1073-h740-dca67961-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1f81f950-0a27-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w1200-h538-dcffffff-gmir.jpg
