SUMMARY:Dermot Healy and Sense of Place - 27 Nov
DESCRIPTION:The annual joint lecture of the Irish Literary Society and the Centre for Irish Studies\, St Mary’s Twickenham. This year’s lecture is to be delivered by Dr. Keith Hopper\, Research Fellow\, Centre for Irish Studies\, St Mary’s University\, Twickenham.\n\n“The Passionate Transitory”: Dermot Healy and the Sense of Place. \nUntil his untimely death in June 2014\, Dermot Healy was frequently regarded as ‘Ireland’s greatest living writer’. In a documentary devoted to Healy’s work in 2011\, the late Seamus Heaney hailed him as the poetic heir to Patrick Kavanagh: ‘Kavanagh was the poet of\, as he said\, “the passionate transitory”\, bits and pieces of the everyday snatched out of time. He was the poet of praise for those things. It isn’t just nature poetry\, it’s gratitude for the whole gift of existence in Healy’. Outside of Ireland\, Healy is probably better known as a novelist\, but he was also a playwright\, screenwriter\, actor\, editor\, and all-round literary enabler. This talk will present an overview of Dermot Healy’s work\, focussing on the importance of time\, memory and place in his eclectic oeuvre. \nPresented in association with the Centre for Irish Studies\, St Mary’s University\, Twickenham:\n\n\n   \nSpeaker:\n\nDr Keith Hopper\nDr Keith Hopper teaches Literature and Film Studies for Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education\, and is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Irish Studies at St Mary’s University\, Twickenham.
