SUMMARY:Columbus-area LGBTQ+ Affinity Group gathering: Poetry Evening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively exploration and discussion of the poetry collection 44 Poems on Being with Each Other (2025) by Pádraig Ó Tuama. Please feel free to bring a snack or beverage (non-alcoholic) to share. \nLocation: meeting room of the Columbus Metropolitan Library—Franklinton Branch (1061 W Town St\, Columbus OH 43222) \nAbout the Author: Pádraig Ó Tuama is an Irish poet\, theologian\, and conflict mediator who presents the podcast Poetry Unbound. \nAbout the Text: With an observant eye\, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem\, revealing the ways we relate to each other\, the world around us\, and ourselves. Blending humor with insight\, tension with tenderness\, complexity with care\, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other articulates the power of poetry itself. Through careful and incisive readings\, it illuminates aspects of the human condition\, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other\, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection. It is an anthology that will delight readers\, just as Pádraig’s podcast has done for millions around the world.
