We are deeply saddened by the loss of poet Gerry Dawe who along with Brendan Kennelly founded the Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre in 1997. Gerry's legacy is profound and long lasting, and his wise and gentle spirit will be sorely missed.

Fun fact, poet Brendan Kennelly wrote on any scrap of paper he could find when he was out and about and inspiration struck. Anything from plane tickets; to Bewleys comment cards; used envelopes and napkins! Makes for a much more interesting archive!

Philip Nolan Lovely tribute... I think as we get older the memories of our departed loved ones flood back. I love this by Brendan Kennelly...

A famous moment from The Late Late Show in 1997: Brendan Kennelly recites his poem ‘Begin’ as scheduled with the twist that he is reading it to Rita, a woman who had been selected for a live phone prize draw but had lost her daughter the night before. Poetry’s beauty & power.
