Location: Parade Tower
Paul Muldoon is one of Ireland’s greatest living poets and we’re delighted to welcome him to Kilkenny for a pair of events celebrating two of his most recent projects.
In this first event, Muldoon celebrates the launch of his libretto for Custom of the Coast, published by The Gallery Press. Created in collaboration with composer Kamala Sankaram (and receiving its world premiere at next year’s Festival), Custom of the Coast is a powerful operatic work that forges unexpected links between the stories of Anne Bonny, an eighteenth-century pirate, and Savita Halappanavar, whose tragic death caused a national outcry and mobilised the campaign to repeal the 8th Amendment of the Irish Constitution.
