The Limerick Writers Centre In association with Quay Books Present A poetry reading with US poet Dan Thomas Moran and Limerick poet Tom McCarthy Sun 12th Oct 2014 3.00pm Arthurs Quay Shoppng Centre, Limerick. Daniel Thomas Moran was born in New York City in 1957, is the author of seven volumes of poetry, the most recent of which, A Shed for Wood, was published by Salmon Poetry. He is a poet whose American sinews were birthed by Irish forebears, and who arrives as a poet from an unlikely place. Trained as a scientist and ultimately as a Doctor of Dental Surgery he writes, not from pedagogy, but from his own nature; a sense of wonder at and worship for, the assorted reflections of existence. Here, in his seventh collection, A Shed for Wood, that he comes home again, to Ireland, with all his accounts of life in the new world. His poems are a travelogue of oddly varied subjects and points of view; faces and places where he engages and acclaims the diverting particulars of living. He does it with poignancy and with wit, with tenderness and a peculiar perspective, and with a proud and well-earned American-Irish breed of wisdom. Moran’s is a distinctive American voice which deserves an attentive hearing.Elizabeth Heywood (Acumen Magazine) Moran’s poems seem so natural, uncontrived, like an afterthought that suddenly prevails.Samuel Menashe Profound and intelligible poetry. The cosmic grounded in the mundane. Pointedly unpretentious and extraordinarily real.Peter Quinn youtu.be/71XbH2HF_qA
