Finding a Voice: Dermot Bolger Writer in Residence

Brian Keenan will be In-Conversation with Dermot Bolger at the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks.

Few writers have written more powerfully than Brian Keenan about the terrifying experience of being a civilian unexpectedly caught up in a conflict situation. In conversation with Dermot Bolger, Brian will discuss his experience of being held hostage in a time of war and his more recent experiences of exploring present day Lebanon, as a free man.

This event is part of the National Museum of Ireland’s 2016, Decade of Centenaries Public Engagement Programme. Finding a Voice: Dermot Bolger Writer in Residence is a collaborative project between the National Museum of Ireland and Poetry Ireland. A core aspect of the Dermot Bolger: Writer in Residence programme will be the In Conversation series of public talks. Most of which will take place in the Palatine Room, National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Benburb Street, Dublin 7.
