The Tom Quinlan Lecture in Poetry: Fiona Benson

The Tom Quinlan Lecture in Poetry at Glucksman Ireland House honors Tom, a public school teacher in Philadelphia, a lover of poetry, and Glucksman Ireland House member since 1997; the lecture is endowed by his family. We are especially pleased that the Quinlan Lecture is offered in partnership with the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry at Queens University, Belfast, hosting Heaney Centre Prize-winner. The 2015 winner of the Heaney Prize is Fiona Benson for her collection of poems, Bright Travellers. Fiona Benson's pamphlet was published as part of the Faber New Poets series in 2009. Her first full-length collection is Bright Travellers (Jonathan Cape, 2014), which was shortlisted for the T S Eliot Prize and won the Seamus Heaney Prize for best first collection. She lives in Devon with her husband James Meredith and their daughters, Isla and Rose. Presented in association with Irish Art Center's PoetryFest. Introduction by John Waters, Clinical Assistant Professor at Glucksman Ireland House NYU. Filmed at Glucksman Ireland House NYU on November 5th, 2015. All rights reserved.
