Paul Durcan: 80 at 80 - Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi - Film Reviews

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Alan Gilsenan, Director of Ghosts of Baggotonia. Ghosts of Baggotonia is a haunting and visually captivating film-poem exploring the literary and other ghosts of the bohemian quarter bordering Dublin's Baggot Street during the mid-20th century. “Baggotonia” as it has become known – was both a permeable geographic area and a cultural movement, populated by writers, artists and other intellectuals living an anarchic life at odds with the over-arching drabness and the conservative mores of the time. Inspired by a rare collection of photographs from artist Nevill Johnson, the film is shot in starkly beautiful Leica monotone and draws upon writings from the period, including Patrick Kavanagh, Elizabeth Bowen, Samuel Beckett, Blanaid Salkeld, John Montague, Eavan Boland, Paul Durcan, Ethna McCarthy, Thomas Kinsella amongst many others. This stunning film is also an act of psycho-geography as well as a personal meditation on Alan Gilsenan's childhood, where he grew up amidst the ghosts on the mythical Raglan Road. His own poetic script frames the film – voiced by Gilsenan himself and Camille O'Sullivan – and features a remarkable original soundtrack from composer Brian Crosby (formerly of Juniper, The Cake Sale & Bell XI). Ghosts of Baggotonia is in cinemas from 9th December 2022.

Dr. Adam Hanna's Poetry, Politics, and the Law in Modern Ireland (Syracuse University Press, 2022) is a richly detailed exploration of how modern Irish poetry has been shaped by, and responded to, the laws, judgments, and constitutions of both of the island's jurisdictions. Focusing on poets' responses in their writing to such contentious legal issues as partition, censorship, paramilitarism, and the curtailment of women's reproductive and other rights, this volume is the first in the growing field of law and literature to monograph exclusively on modern Ireland. Dr. Hanna unpacks the legal engagements of both major and non-canonical poets from every decade between the 1920s and the present day, including Rhoda Coghill, Austin Clarke, Paul Durcan, Elaine Feeney, Miriam Gamble, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Paula Meehan, Julie Morrissy, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, and W. B. Yeats. Poetry from the time of independence onward has been shaped by two opposing forces. On the one hand, the Irish public has traditionally had strong expectations that poets offer a dissenting counter-discourse to official sources of law. On the other hand, poets have more recently expressed skepticism about the ethics of speaking for others and about the adequacy of art in performing a public role. Dr. Hanna's fascinating study illuminates the poetry that arises from these antithetical modern conditions. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A year after doing this interview with Paul Durcan in late 1987, I began doing political interviews with political representatives from all sides in terms of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, starting with Danny Morrison and Ken McGinnis. However, as with this exchange with the poet Paul Durcan, I also talked with countless cultural figures about what I knew even then to be the single most important issue when it came to the future of my homeland, north and south.  I had intended to make a for RTE Radio 1 a 12 part radio series called Troubled Voices in 2018, but certain people silenced the series. So, now it is a podcast series. It is our history.  Arguably, as never heard before, simply becuase these interviews were for the print media, not for broadcast. Hence, the likes of Durcan could speak at leangth.

Find out more about John and his work here: ​ www.casarotto.co.uk/clients/john-crowley Fiona reads the gift reading of 'The Death by Heroin of Sid Vicious'. ***** The Death by Heroin of Sid Vicious ​by Paul Durcan There – but for the clutch of luck – go I.  At daybreak – in the arctic fog of a February daybreak – Shoulder-length helmets in the watchtowers of the concentration camp  Caught me out in the intersecting arcs of the swirling searchlights.  There were at least a zillion of us caught out there – Like ladybirds under a boulder – But under the microscope each of us was unique,  Unique and we broke for cover, crazily breasting  The barbed wire and some of us made it  To the forest edge, but many of us did not  Make it, although their unborn children did – Such as you whom the camp commandant branded  Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. Jesus, break his fall:  There – but for the clutch of luck – go we all. ​

With Kirsty Lang Artist Michael Craig-Martin reviews a major new exhibition about the art and architecture created and inspired by the Bauhaus school. He reflects on the movement's influence on modern design, children's toys and his own career.

This is the final podcast in the second series of Talking Books, a programme run by the Arts Office of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in conjunction with the County Library Service. Throughout 2009, writer-in-residence Dermot Bolger conducted a series of conversations focused on the business of writing. Dermot's guest in this final programme is the poet Paul Durcan, who recently published a retrospective collection of his poetry spanning 40 years. The podcast was recorded in Deansgrange Libary on the 17th of November 2009. There were some technical problems with microphones on the day and, regrettably, this is reflected in the sound quality in parts of this recording. We hope that this will not unduly affect your enjoyment of the programme.
